Summertime Saving

Summer can be a very expensive season for my family. It seems like we are on the go all day every day and the expense of gasoline can add up quickly. Without factoring in the other costs associated with summer, such as filling the pool, going to events and attractions and higher utility bills, my budget feels the strain.

 

I am making steps to save as much money as I can. I found a fantastic site to help me save money on items I would buy everyday while making the world a better place. Save1.com offers a ton of coupons for places like CVS, Delia’s and Finish Line to name just a few. Every time you use a coupon you find on their site, they earn a small commission, and they use that commission to donate 1 meal to a hungry child, while you are saving money.

 

I found a coupon I couldn’t resist using for CVS, just in time for Father’s Day, for a free 8×10 photo collage when you buy a 5×7 folded greeting card. Which is perfect for giving Dad a meaningful gift from the heart to preserve moments in time.

 

I am going to be coming back to this site many times this summer in my quest for Summertime Savings. If I can save money with ease, it will lead to more fun for my family. With every dollar I save, I can indulge my family  with a new adventure and create new memories that we will cherish for many years to come.

 

How do you save money during the summer season? With so many great seasonal activities it is important to save whenever you can, without limiting your family fun. We take walks to arrive at local events, I use coupons for nearly everything I buy and we pack lunches instead of eating out several times a week while we are on the go.

The Perfect Boiled Egg

Boiling eggs. Science? No. Just common sense and a hand me down tidbit from mom and grandma. I actually got a lot of helpful tips and hints my Great-grandmother and one of my aunts who were native Indian. They had a lot of helpful tidbits.

1. Place you eggs in a saucepan large enough to hold them in single layer.
2. Add cold water to cover eggs by about 1 inch. Heat them over high heat just to boiling.
3. Remove from burner.
4. Cover the pan.
5. Let the eggs stand in hot water for about 12 minutes for large eggs.
6. Drain immediately and cool completely under cold running water or in bowl of ice water, then Refrigerate.

Did you know that you could rid the greenish ring around the eggs. This is harmless but unsightly. It sometimes forms around hard-boiled yolks when eggs have been cooked for too long or at too high a temperature.

Also eggs peel easily when using eggs that have been in the fridge for a week to 10 days before using. If you use fresh eggs they tend to not peel or peel with big chucks of egg attached, so that sometimes you’re left with just a yolk.

Have a great day everyone and thanks for visiting us here at Sublime Media Connection.
