TODAY'S THRIFTY TIP:

Give a pot luck Fourth of July party. Ask each of your guests bring a side dish, a fun dessert or snack items. Guests will enjoy showing off their culinary talents. This spreads the cost of the Fourth of July around to everyone instead of you paying for everything. And if you ask for specific items you won't have everybody bringing potato salad!


BONUS TIP:

You will certainly have tubs or coolers full of ice cold beverages. Make sure to buy pop and beer in aluminum cans and then put recycling bins right next to the coolers.

Recycling plastic water bottles is good for the environment, but recycling all that aluminum will bring you 30 to 40 cents per pound, depending on where you go!
