A Frugal 4th of July

The 4th of July is among the most frugal of holidays . All the traditional things that go with the 4th are simple and relatively expensive:
- Hot dogs
- Hamburgers
- Chips (which you can often get 2-for-1)
- Soda
- Paper decorations in red, white and blue
Even the packages of fireworks for home use are often inexpensive. And, when you get together as a family, everyone brings something to contribute. Last year, my husband and I put on a bash for my sister and brother and their families. We had a great time for less than $50.
It’s a good time to remember the birth of our country, why it is so great, and realize that even in a time of economic hardship and recession it is possible to enjoy a good celebration for very little money . I hope you will join me in remembering our founders, taking a few minutes to read a copy of the Constitution and thinking on how we can be better citizens.
Happy 4th of July!
