Enjoying this special day doesn’t have to be expensive. Here are five tips to help you save money on your Independence Day fun!

Host a barbecue. If you like entertaining, hosting a Fourth of July party can be fun, but providing food and drinks for your guests can get expensive. Keep costs down by making this year’s gathering a potluck. Just make sure to assign your guests different categories of food to bring.

Take advantage of free activities. One great thing about the Fourth of July is that it usually comes with free entertainment, including live music, parades, fireworks, and more. Take advantage of the free activities and bring along food and drinks from home, to avoid having to pay for them at the events.

Try a budget-friendly patriotic recipe. It doesn’t matter if you are hosting a backyard barbecue, attending a party, or preparing a small get-together, you will be ready with these July 4th recipes.
