How to stay cool in the summer without breaking the bank.

Here are a few ways to cool you and your home without the pocketbook groaning:

1.) Shades down when you are not home or the sun is on that side of the house.

2.) If you have a central air conditioner with an adjustable thermostat, raise the temperature when you are not at home. That said, when you are home, pick a temperature everyone can live with and try not to change it. 

3.) If you are using ceiling fans, use them only when you are in the room.

4.) Landscaping can help block some of the sun off the home.

5.) Have a nice cool drink to stay hydrated and cool yourself at the same time.
