Thrifty Thursday - Getting Out of Debt, Saving for College and More

Thursday July 9, 2009

This week's installment of the Parenting Channel's weekly money saving blog get-together (Thrifty Thursday) offers solid advice and suggestions on getting your family out of debt, saving for college, saving money on hotel bills and infant car seats and much more.

If you're the parent of a tween, think about cheap entertainment this summer. A tween sleepover party can be a super thrifty activity, and the entertainment goes on for hours (and hours, and hours). You (and your tween) might be tired come the end, but sleepovers are a right of passage for tweens. And it is summer!
