Happy July 4th, everyone! What are you doing today to celebrate United States’ independence from the British Empire? If you don’t have activities for the 4th of July planned, I’m here to help!

Fireworks - It’s probably the most traditional of July 4th outdoor activities. Personally, I prefer watching fireworks over playing with firecrackers - it’s less scary…and it’s free. Many parks host fireworks shows without admission fees - just do a bit of research online.

Party - This might sound costly, and you might think you can’t pull something together last minute. Not true! Call up friends and family who don’t have plans either for a potluck. Everyone can bring a different dish or party supply, cutting down on costs and time! Plan it during the day and have a party by the evening.

Shopping - Many merchants are celebrating July 4th with tons of great sales. Take advantage of them and go shopping online! Here are some limited-time offers for Independence Day:
