++ Savings Money on your 4th of July Celebration
1. If you’re having a party make it potluck (everyone brings a dish) and everyone brings the meat they want to eat.
2. You can save money on fireworks if you wait till the last minute, the closer to this evening you buy them, the more you will save. One note is that you will have less to select from.
3. Shop for your meat this morning. Since you’ll be cooking it today you don’t have to worry much about it expiring soon. (you don’t want to buy expired meat, but you get the idea).
4. Most towns have ‘free’ fireworks displays - even though we live in a really small town, we have a great fireworks display.
5. Stay away from pre-packaged drinks, try kool-aid, lemonade, or ice tea instead.
