Save Money During the Summer (While Still Having a Blast!)

5. Don’t Cook

Hey, who needs another excuse not to cook dinner? (Raises hand emphatically.) No need to heat up your house. Let the kids suggest (or make) their favorite sandwich, cut it in little triangles, and have a “tea party” or “picnic” on a blanket in the living room. Your house will stay cooler, you’ll save money on energy bills, and the kids will love it.
