Floating in for SUMMER FUN!<\/em><\/strong> After being quarantined inside for months, we are looking forward to spending lots of time outside! With summer camps and travel plans being shelved, I am being intentional with still making summer memories for our family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dollar General<\/a> is my go-to spot for stocking up on everything I need for summer; pool floats<\/a>, toys, indoor and outdoor games, snacks, paper goods, snacks, cookout supplies, sunscreen, clothing, holiday d\u00e9cor and more! I wanted to share my guide to summer fun on a budget. Not only did I find so many things but felt safe while shopping also with installed sneeze guards and hand sanitizing stations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to download the DG App<\/a> with additional savings! And you can save $5 off $25 on Saturdays!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operation Keep the Kids Busy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I snagged all of these pool toys<\/a>, jump ropes, Glove Bubbles, snorkel sets and sunscreen for under $30!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Glove Bubbles<\/a> have been so much fun! For $2.50 and gives the kids an outdoor activity they both enjoy! LC gets the bubbles going and Owen tries to pop them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rainy Day Fun<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For rainy days or those late summer days where it is too hot to go outside, I found classic games<\/a> like Hungry, Hungry Hippos, Stack-A-Mole, Legos, Smart Sand, coloring books and crayons. I usually keep new items put away until a rainy day so the \u201cnewness\u201d doesn\u2019t wear off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Just Add Water         <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Not sure if anyone else feels like this but getting ready to spend the day by the pool takes a lot of work! This year, I made a list of needed items (towels, sunscreen, goggles, pool toys floats, SNACKS<\/em><\/strong>) and am trying to keep everything in one place. I added this sun hat for $5 and cute, zipper cooler bag for only $6!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m going to go ahead and call it-these $10 floats are the best thing I\u2019ll purchase all summer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Celebrations<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dollar General<\/a> has everything you need for your summer cookouts and 4th<\/sup> of July festivities! I found a great selection of holiday themed paper products, grilling necessities like hamburger buns, chips, condiments, drinks, charcoal and even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For at home or on the go, I stocked up on paper plates and napkins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Summer, stop by Dollar General<\/a> and find great deals and lots of items to help your summer be the best one yet.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
