How do you all book your travel? Using this website called Booking.com, which I find very convenient for hotels, but I want to know how you travel for cheap

Hey everyone, not really sure this is allowed, but I want to know from you folks. I have been travelling to AR and KS lately and all of these trips I have been booking with booking.com and Expedia, as well as Google Maps (filtering hotels to have free parking).<br><br>I have found these booking sites to be very convenient with their price and availability comparisons, but have found prices are much higher than if I book directly through the hotel.<br><br>My question to you people is how do you book your travel?
