Homeward Bound

Although you may be tempted to spend each and every day of your summer holiday traveling, spending time with friends, or generally having a fabulous time out and about, there will be those days when you want to lay low and stay inside. Not only is spending the occasional evening in good for your wallet, but it also gives you an opportunity to perhaps catch up on your reading, or finally check out that DVD you’ve been meaning to watch.

Books: Now that you’ve finally figured out how your iPad works, it’s time to download some reading material. Kobo is offering free eBooks for a limited time. You can download just about anything, from romance novels to fiction to biographies to mysteries.  

Movies: Movie nights are nothing short of fun and relaxing. No long lines at the theater. No random mobiles going off. And no exorbitant price tags for popcorn and sodas. LoveFilm.com has a vast selection of DVDs and Blu-Ray rentals that are available by post or via download. And for a limited time you can get a subscription for just £3.91/month.        

Cooking: Spending an evening in the kitchen can be fun, educational, and best of all—you get to eat your mistakes. So settle in with the Food Network for some inspiration, make a grocery run to stock up on supplies, and flex your culinary muscles for a meal that you’ll never forget.

Pack it Up: Your rucksack of choice needs to be able to hold everything you need for a hike. Blacks carries daysacks, ramblesacks, and travel packs in addition to belt packs for smaller items.

Party Planning 101

Now that the days are getting longer and the temperature is creeping up, it’s time to get the gang together and throw a backyard barbeque. Throwing parties can be a bit pricey, but there are ways to keep costs down.  

Food: Some people choose to have their backyard parties catered, but that’s no fun at all. It’s more fun, and much cheaper, to do the cooking yourself. You probably already have a bag of charcoal in the garage that’s just waiting to help grill some top-notch dishes, but if your grill is a little past its prime you can get what you need at Tesco Direct. For a limited time the company is offering lots of price cuts and discounts on barbeque equipment like a Kettle Charcoal BBQ (£19.33) and large barbeque covers ( £13.33).    

Pot Luck: You could even go one step further by asking all of your party guests to bring a dish to share. Delegating food and beverage responsibilities will not only save you a bundle of cash, but it will also keep you from stressing about what dishes to serve and when to start cooking.  

Guest List: One of the best ways to keep your bills down is to keep the guest list short. Picking only a few select family members and friends to share in the festivities means that you’ll need to buy less food and fewer beverages.
