Here are some of the comment tips:
The Happy Rock “Get your air conditioning unit checked and tuned up to help save on energy costs.”
otherdeb (Deb Wunder)“Know that bicycle that’s been moldering against your back porch/in your attic/in your garage, etc? Get it out, get it checked over, and start using it for local errands!
If you are anything like me, as you build up a bit of endurance, you will also want to start using it to do some local sightseeing!”
Rachel”Summer Money Saving Tip: For a cheap sun burn treatment that won’t require an extra trip to the pharmacy, freeze some of the lotion you already have on hand on a piece of tin foil. Once it’s frozen, it cools and soothes the burn and also moisturizers to ease peeling and blistering. Works great too for those who are allergic to Aloe Vera like me! ”
Sam”Turn you thermostat up to 80 and use your ceiling fans or box fans.
We also turn off the AC at night and just use our ceiling fans.”
That One Caveman “Vacation in or near your hometown. There are often a lot of cheap or free ways to entertain yourself – you just have to look for them. We’ll be visiting a few local museums (free entrance + free air conditioning), the zoo, the lake, and a few parks this summer – all for free!”
Mercedes”This summer I have decided to quit driving my kids around for activities and stay local. I have been lucky to have found things to do in the small town that I live. So far I love this simple summer life. I am kicking back and enjoying the nice weather without a hectic lifestyle.”
There are a bunch of other great tips as well. Make sure to check out the comments section of the original article!
