How to have a fun BBQ without breaking the bank

Having a BBQ on the 4th of July is a fun way to celebrate, but it can be costly. Enjoy these tips for a fun and frugal 4th of July:

• Host a pot luck meal, inviting your friends, family and neighbors and encouraging them to bring a dessert, side dish, utensils/napkins/plates or something to throw on the grill.
• When buying food items, tableware, etc., be sure to check the weekly ads and get your coupons ready before heading out to the grocery store.
• Stock up on non-perishables like condiments ahead of time when you spot a good sale.
• Consider shopping online for these items so you can take advantage of free shipping offers, online promo codes and earn Cash Back (a portion of your spending deposited into a free account) – all on the same transaction.
