Creatively Frugal 
Sun Protection

What creatively frugal strategies do you use to save money while protecting yourself from the sun’s harmful rays?

"I wait until just before spring begins and then I contact my AVON Representative for a catalog. A lot of times they do 2-for-1 deals where their tubes of sport block (plus bug guard) are two for $5 or $6. Planning ahead has you covered for the whole summer for less. Additionally, investing in a cheap bucket hat is a good idea to keep sun out of the face and off of the ears and scalp. I buy these at the end of the season on super-sale or pick one up at the local Dollar Tree. Dollar store hats are not the best quality, but if you're having fun and getting dirty and sweaty, you probably wouldn't want to wear an expensive hat." ~ Carrie
"A local store has buy one get one free items, including certain brands of sun screen. I've already got my supply for the summer. Another tip is to always keep the extra one in the car.  There are times when we're out and
need it." ~ Anggie

 
"This year I discovered that my local dollar store sells sunscreen (as well as many cleaning & household items & medicines) for only a buck!" ~ Rebecca
