One mom on TikTok is helping us all by giving us tips on how we can all save money for the holidays—so much money, in fact, that you might be able to afford to take a second vacation.
Financial mentor Elyse recommends packing your own lunch, snacks and drinks. Get a cooler and pack it every day.
You can also save money by visiting a national park. For example, you can walk around all the sites of Washington DC for free!
Another money saving tip is to stay with friends. You can also reciprocate by inviting friends to stay with you.
You can also make dinner together instead of eating out.
Also cool off with sprinklers or in a paddling pool. Many towns offer free wading pools. Playing with the sprinkler or hose is just as fun.
Be sure to check out “Buy Nothing” and other local gifting groups on social media to find summer clothing, gear, and gear.
