It’s baaaccckkk! Easily one of my favorite free food days of the year, FREE Slurpee Day is coming on July 11th (7/11 – get it?).
Just head to your local 7-Eleven store on 7/11 from 11 am – 7 pm to receive a free Slurpee. In my experience, it’s a pretty well run offer. They usually have special promotional cups and lots of flavors available. Do make sure to check out, though, as they like to keep tabs on how many customers are taking advantage of the offer.
Will you be making a trek to 7-Eleven on 7/11?
Through today only (Monday, July 8th), Walgreens is offering 75% off 11 x 14 Wood Hanger Board Prints when you use promo code HANG75 at checkout. That brings the price down to just $7.50 (reg. $29.99)!
Choose free same day pick up at your local Walgreens (if available) to avoid shipping charges. There doesn’t seem to be a limit to the number of times you can use this promo code, so consider ordering extras to use as gifts or to redecorate a whole room!

I love hosting parties and gathering my friends and family together to celebrate a special occasion or just to hang out. It’s fun to catch up with people I haven’t seen in a while and to provide my kids with an opportunity to play with some friends, as well.
While providing catered food for your guests can be very impressive, it can also be very expensive. I’m pretty conscious of my budget all the time, but especially when hosting guests. Over the years, I’ve come up with an arsenal of party food ideas to fill my guests’ bellies without draining my bank account.
As you consider your party, you’ll need to think not only about who the guests will be, but also where it will be held as well as what time of day you’d like to host. Here are some cheap party food ideas to consider as you plan the big event.
If you have some wiggle room in terms of when you can throw your party, aim for mid to late morning if you can. Why? Because breakfast and brunch foods are cheap! Eggs, sausage, and baked goods are generally much cheaper to purchase and prepare than meals that happen later in the day. (Of course, you can always serve breakfast for dinner, right?) Some easy and cheap breakfast/brunch items include:
You’ll see the “bar” or “build your own” language come up a lot in this list. That’s because the easiest way to feed a crowd is to let them assemble the meal themselves! In addition, by providing your guests with a variety of ingredients, you’ll allow them to choose what they’d like based on personal preference, allergies, etc.
A waffle bar or pancake bar is pretty easy to put together: just make a huge batch of waffles or pancakes and set out toppings like strawberries, blueberries, sliced bananas, chocolate chips, whipped cream, butter, and a variety of syrups. It’s incredibly easy to make your own berry syrup: just mix berries, sugar to taste, and water over low heat until the sugar is dissolved, then crank up the heat a little and stir until the syrup thickens.
Here’s a freezer-friendly waffle recipe you can use to make your waffles ahead of time, then just pop them in the toaster when it’s time to eat: The Best Freezer Waffle Recipe Ever
Yogurt isn’t always the cheapest, but if you stock up when it’s on sale and make sure you buy the big containers, you should do all right. Provide a few different flavor options – plain, vanilla, strawberry, blueberry, etc. – and set out granola or granola cereal and berries. Guests can layer their parfaits however they like. Kids especially will love this option!
Let your guests take bagels to the next level by providing cream cheese (of course), but also extras to go on top of the cream cheese like chocolate chips, sunflower seeds, avocado, berries, nuts, spices, and any other little spreads or goodies you find in your pantry. Don’t be afraid to get a little creative!
Bagels regularly go on sale, and you can also check your local grocery stores or bagel shops to see if they offer any weekly specials on a baker’s dozen or end-of-day/next-day baked goods.

Mark your calendars: Monday, July 15th kicks off Amazon Prime Day which runs through July 16th, exclusively for Prime members! While it’s hard to know exactly what kind of deals we’ll find until July 15th is here, I did find some details on Amazon to share with you:
This year some deals will actually start on July 15th at midnight PT / 3 am ET.
The most important thing I want to emphasize about this sale is that it is for Amazon Prime Members only. If you are not a Prime member, this would be an excellent time to sign up! You can start a FREE 30-day trial and still take advantage of this event.
I don’t generally push memberships because I often feel the benefit is more to the merchant than the consumer, but I can tell you – Prime is a huge exception for me. My husband and I have been Prime members for years and it completely pays for itself. I would say the feature I take advantage of the most is the free 2-day shipping. We also do access some of the movies and shows. As a Prime member, I will also be paying attention to this sale, to see if there is anything I’ve got in my Wish List that hits an all-time price low!
I’d love to hear from you. Is your curiosity piqued? What kinds of items are you hoping will be featured on July 15th and 16th? Leave a comment below!
