Summer is here! While my son is too young to be in school, most of my friends have school-age children who have reached the end of the school year. What do you do with your kiddos during the long summer days? Do your children go to camp? Or do they stay home? Since I’m in the stage of life where my son is always home, I try to create fun activities for us to do. And now that the hot weather is here, a lot of the activities involve staying cool! So we spend lots of time by the pool and lots of time staying hydrated AND cooling off with fun frozen treats like Popsicles and ice cream!
Right now at Winn-Dixie and BI-LO, we can save big on ice cream!
5 Ways to Save on Summer Fun
1) Head to Winn-Dixie or BI-LO to save on their awesome ice cream sale going on right now! Popsicle, Good Humor and Fruttare Bars are on sale 2/$6.00. Klondike, Ben & Jerry’s and Magnum are on sale 2/$7.00. See the scenarios below to get great frozen desserts for as low as $2.00!

**Depending on the coupon you use, each dessert will be between $2.50 and $3.00 each
2) Save on Gas for Summer Road Trips by purchasing groceries at Winn-Dixie or Bi-Lo that are eligible for Fuel Perks. Right now, if you purchase two Klondike and/or Ben & Jerry’s we will get $0.05 in fuelperks! I bought two cartons of Ben & Jerry’s. I didn’t have a coupon to use so spent $7.00 making each carton $3.50. But I also saved $0.05 per gallon on gas with fuelperks! And fyi - the Ben & Jerry’s: The Tonight Dough ice cream is fabulous 😉
3) Take your family to the park or the beach and bring a picnic. Instead of buying food at a drive-thru or takeout from a restaurant, bring food from home in a cooler. You will save money on your food and have more control on the nutrition of the foods you eat!
4) Plan your meals ahead of time! If you are going to be out all day with your children, use your slow cooker in the morning so that when you get home, you have a hot, home cooked meal waiting for you. This will save you time at night AND will keep your house cooler since you won’t have to run your oven!
5) Have a staycation! Plan a time for your family to have a staycation at home. Turn off your electronics and spend quality time with your family playing games, grilling out, maybe even camping out (or camping “in” if you prefer to stay in the air conditioning)! Oh - and make sure you have cool ice cream as dessert!

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
