• Visiting Family: If you plan on driving somewhere for the weekend, research gas prices online before plotting your course. In general, filling up along a highway is more expensive than taking an exit into a town.
• If you are hosting friends and family for the holiday, Web sites like Allrecipes.com let you search for dishes based on ingredients you have at home. Also, certain dishes, such as lasagna, chili and soups, are easily made in large quantities.
• Holiday Deals: Keep a sharp eye out for places that have sales on either outdoor furniture or food to help you make a lot out of your holiday weekend without taking a lot out of your piggy bank. Make sure to grab a store circular when you walk in to help identify sale items.
• Take Advantage of the Fireworks: Instead of spending money on a movie or something expensive, get everyone together and walk to a place where you can get a good view of the fireworks display in your own town.
