Stay Cool on the Cheap!

After months of complaining about the cold, snow and lack of sunlight, the heat is finally here (or will be, after the rain stops)! While it can be tempting to complain about the climbing temperature, learning to combat the heat is a far more effective way to stay comfortable while taking advantage of this short weather window. Here are some ways to beat the heat, while still saving money!

• Find a cheap, cheerful and air-conditioned activity! Museums and libraries can be a great way to spend a hot afternoon!

• Wear loose-fitting clothing, preferably of a light color, choosing cotton over synthetic fabrics.

• If you do have an air conditioner, take time to clean it to make it more energy efficient.

• Buy ice cream! It worked when you were little, and it will still do the trick today! As many smaller stands often don’t accept credit cards, be sure to stop by a Shared Branch, or Surcharge Free ATM, to get fast cash to fund your treat!
Enjoy the summer sunshine!
