Plant a Family Garden: Planting a family garden can provide countless hours of fun and education to your children for well under $100. Before you choose to go to the local nursery or greenhouse, gather the troops and ask your kids to make a list of veggies they want to grow and a tools they will need to help their new plants grow. Making a list will help you stay on budget and help prepare for everything that will be needed in growing a successful garden. Head out and purchase Target Coupons, Household Coupons and all the items on your list and spend the day planting a family garden. You can teach your children how to care for the plants by watering and weeding them, as well you can show them that once those plants are fully grown they provide your family with a delicious dinner. Encourage your kids to eat healthy and pick items out of their garden to have for dinner or a snack!

Keep your eye out for deals: Keep your eye out for notifications of customer appreciation days at museums or the Zoo. Many times these attractions will offer visitors up to half off the regular price of admission. These deals can be sent out to your email or published in your local newspaper, so keep your eye open for these great discounts!

Plan a beach day! : Not all of us have the luxury of having a beach close to our homes so this is an extra special treat for those who have to drive a bit further to get to some sand and sunshine. To save money for this day trip it is best to think and plan ahead. You can Choose the closest and best beach for your family to save on gas money by purchasing Target Coupons. Pack snacks, lunches and LOTS of water for the day at the beach. Like any attraction, food and beverage prices are inflated due to supply and demand, so its best to pack them before you leave for the day. By planning ahead and packing most of your food, you will have money to treat everyone to ice cream to cool down! You can also save money by heading to the local Dollar Store and purchasing buckets and shovels for sand castle making! These inexpensive tools will provide hours of fun, and wont cause major worry if forgotten behind at the beach!

Plan a Neighborhood Block Party! : To start, do a quick and easy at-home craft day making invites to all your neighbors inviting them to the block party with craft supplies your kids may already have on hand at home. On each invite, ask each family to bring an item for a potluck lunch. Having a potluck lunch with each family bringing in food can help you save money and focus more on supplying the party with activities! Try splitting everyone into teams and play a game of soccer or baseball, create a face painting station were kids paint their parents faces and parents paint their kids faces, or get kids to plant flowers in small pots bought from the dollar store. Each of these ideas are really inexpensive and will create hours of fun for all!

Rainy Days: Not everyday during the summer can be a beautiful sun shining day! For those days that it does rain, keep the fun alive by having backup ideas some Target Coupons ready for everyone to enjoy. Start off your day by allowing everyone in the family to stay in their pajamas. Get together and build a fort, put on a couple of your favorite Disney movies to cuddle up and watch. Make a hands-on lunch where everyone helps make his or her own pizza. There are lots of ways to have fun in the comfort of your own home and still not have to use that money reserved for ‘rainy days’.

Household Coupons that can save you even more money!

Here at coupon-smart, not only are we trying to help the average person save money on there everyday purchases, but we want people to learn that the everyday products you do use can have multiple uses in the Household Coupons that can save you even more money! Here are a couple of my favorite, inexpensive items that I keep in my home that help me save money and save space with needing fewer products on my shelves!

Dryer Sheets
Dryer sheets are one of the best multi-use household items available. Typically used in the dryer to freshen up clothes, you can also use the sheets in your linen closet or between your bed sheets for added freshness that spreads throughout your home.
Dryer sheets also hold a compound in them that make them repel static. Use the dryer sheets to tame dry hair, to dust your home, and even pick up pet hairs stuck to the floor or your clothes from static.
Dryer sheets are also a really nifty way to keep pests away during the summer!  There is a chemical within the sheets that bugs and bees aren’t too fond of, so use them to wipe on your skin before you go sit on the patio or place in the seats of your patio furniture to keep the bugs away. Some people even swear that these inexpensive multi use sheets can repel mice and even deer from coming near your cottage or home.

Baby Wipes
I don’t have children yet, but I’ve got baby wipes and I use them everyday. These wipes can be purchased at local dollar stores in small travel size containers for those of you who don’t really believe that there are a million uses for them! I use baby wipes to remove my make up everyday, their tough on heavy makeup like mascaras and lipsticks. Many brands of Household Coupons wipes even have aloe in them so they don’t hurt my skin, and leave it feeling soft even after a long day of work.
Baby wipes with aloe are great for taking to the beach. They freshen up the skin and also give the skin moisture that it lost during a  day of fun and sun in the beach.

Coffee Filters
I first came into contact with unconventional uses of coffee filters when I was working at a local coffee shop as a teen. Instead of using heavier more expensive paper towels while cleaning glass surfaces or windows within the store, we were instructed to use coffee filters with cleaning products. The coffee filter has fewer fibers so they wont stick to the surface of the window or mirror and leave it shiny! This is a great tip about the target coupons because paper towels can become pricey and coffee filters are super inexpensive.
Coffee filters are not just for coffee; you can filter and reuse oil from frying or strain homemade soups. The filters are great absorbents too; they work well with removing excess oil from bacon or French fries, or in your cast iron pans after cooking.

Petroleum Jelly
This is another inexpensive product that everyone has in their home, most likely because it doesn’t go bad so there is no real reason to throw it out, just need to find more amazing uses for it. Aside from the dozens of beauty tricks you can use petroleum jelly for, you can also use it as a lubricant. Fix those hard to open cabinets or windows with a little petroleum jelly, or stop the squeaking of a door hinge. Petroleum jelly can also rejuvenate your leather sofa! Petroleum jelly is safe to use as a cleaner and a hydrator to make that sofa looking brand new!
