Money Saving Tip: For an evening of family fun, teach your children the games you enjoyed as a child (or go back another generation and ask grandparents what games they played): kick the can, hula hoop, Red Rover, dodge ball, tag, Mother May I, etc.

Menu Idea: Looks like the week for salads—green salads, fruit salads, tuna salad, chicken salad. How about Broccoli Salad? Avoid cooking and stay cool!


Money Saving Tip: Shop once a week; avoid midweek “fill in” trips to the store with the temptation to buy more than you really intended.
