The biggest holiday of the summer at the Lake is right around the corner… Independence Day! Most of us will be getting together with family and friends to celebrate, and some of us will be the ones hosting the get-together. These parties are not cheap, but you can start saving now with First Bank of the Lake by opening your very own Kasasa® Cash Checking account! Through your bank at the Lake of the Ozarks, you’ll be able to get benefits and earn rewards, just by doing simple banking activities, like using your debit card. Before you start planning your holiday, First Bank of the Lake is here to help you have a cost-effective Fourth of July.
FOOD
Have a potluck! During your classic BBQ cookout, have your guests each bring a side or dessert. This way, one person won’t be absorbing all of the costs when it comes to a meal. Also, suggest having a BYOB rule since alcohol is typically the most expensive purchase. And when someone offers to help with something - don’t say no!
Contrary to popular belief, purchasing disposable plates and utensils for parties is not actually a good idea. These supplies immediately get thrown away, and some people use more than necessary! Using and washing your own dishes not only saves you the money of purchasing disposable supplies, but it also elevates your party and is good for the environment.
DECORATIONS
Get your craft on! DIY your red, white, and blue decorations this year instead of running to the store. Getting the family involved to help create and decorate will not only save money but also make fun memories and decorations you can reuse years down the road. If you don’t trust your own artistic abilities, search for inexpensive, reusable red, white, and blue decorations in the local dollar store.
ACTIVITIES
Take advantage of the free activities that are happening in the Lake area around July 4th. Purchasing your own fireworks can get pricey and dangerous. Instead, check out what resorts and businesses are putting on larger fireworks displays and head out to see those for free! Find out where the Independence Day parades are going to be held and where live music will be played. Participating in the free activities offered in your area can not only help you save money but also take the planning pressure off of you.
