Father’s Day Money Saving Ideas

Father’s Day is just around the corner and many of us are on tight budgets, given the state of the current economy! Despite the economy, it is projected that Americans will spend close to $9.4 billion this Father’s Day – planning on treating dad to dinner, a sporting event, or give gift cards, electronics, books, CDs, home improvement items, and sporting goods. I have a few great Father’s Day gift ideas that will have dad giggling over!
