  • Save During Your 4th Of July Celebration



    Fourth of July is almost here. Can you smell the BBQ and fireworks?  Well if you're planning a few things, try to do without your wallet blowing up.  Here's a few tips from the Bargainist, that'll make sure you don't go crazy spending money on unnecessary things:

    Hit the Dollar Store - Before the big day, head to your local dollar store. You can pick up sparklers, paper plates and party supplies for a buck each.

    Stick to the Basics - The 4th of July isn’t known for crème brulee or caviar. For this holiday it’s all about the basics-- hot dogs, potato salad and ice cream. Thankfully these summer staples are among the cheapest at your grocery store so stick to the basics. Use this coupon to get a free Steaz ice tea ice tea when you buy one bottle. That will help you cheaply quench your summer thirst.

    Enjoy Free Music - The best events have the perfect soundtrack. Download free patriotic music on Amazon to give your 4th a festive feel.

    Rent a Patriotic Film - Pick up a movie with a patriotic theme. Whether it’s Independence Day with Will Smith or Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks, avoid the sweltering heat by watching a movie from the comfort of your air conditioned living room. You can even get a free rental from Redbox by checking out this list of coupon codes.

    I can't decide. I want to go out with friends and watch the fireworks, but my mom wants me to go with the family to this cookout. The downfall? I'm the only one my age going. There will be older people and kids running around. Being almost 23 should be a lot more fun. :-/
