June Frugal Forecast

Graduation

June marks graduation time—that highly anticipated moment when students fulfill their academic prophecy and prepare themselves for the next step in their lives. You’ll want to gift your graduate that special something to show how proud you are. We recommend Personalization Mall for all sorts of engraved items for every occasion, and right now they’re offering 10% off personalized gifts for 2012 graduates. In these tough economic times we recommend starting your graduate off on the right foot. Whether or not they have a job lined up, give them a jumpstart into the professional world with their own business cards and stationary. Gift your graduate a special personal business card and save 25% off all products plus free shipping with a $50 purchase at VistaPrint. For high-end stationary to send post-interview thank you letters, shop Crane & Co and get 25 free personalized stationary when you buy 75.

Father’s Day

With Father’s Day coming up this Sunday, June 11th, it’s the perfect time to show dad how much he means to you. Make it special this year by gifting him more than just the regular Hallmark card and hug. We love the idea of getting dad’s hands dirty with a little manly “fix-it” time. If your pop is a car-fiend, snag him top-quality car parts and save $20 off $250 at PartsTrain. He’ll be happily covered in grease in no time. For the handyman dad, save $20 off a plank when you buy a ladder and plank together from Little Giant Ladder Systems. Just make sure you’re not around when he’s hammering around the house! We believe that even dads like to be pampered once in awhile, so it’s a good thing that ZIRH is offering 10% off your purchase of men’s skin care products.

Summer Solstice

We love June because the weather is warm enough for all our favorite outdoor activities. The first day of summer is officially on June 21st, so get outside and celebrate the summer solstice! A great way to soak up some sun is by gardening. Lots of flowers and vegetables need to be planted during the warmer months, so why not get a head start? Save $20 off $40 at Gardens Alive. For a fun activity with the kids, have backyard camping trip. You can enjoy the cooler night air snuggled under sleeping bags in a tent and tell scary stories under flashlight. Get a tent or whatever you may need from Sears and save $5 off $50 purchase. June means golf season! Teach the kids putt-putt or have an 18-hole competition with your buddies. For all your golfing needs, save 5% off your purchase at In The Hole.

We say, enjoy the sun and have some fun!
