Article: Do some research online to find a museum in your area that interests you, whether it’s an art museum, science museum, or history museum. You can make it a solo trip and go explore the museum by yourself, or invite a friend or two to come along. Check to see if the museum has special days where admission is free. Check to see if there’s a movie in theaters that you and your friends would like to go see. You can all share a popcorn and candy, or eat a snack beforehand and enjoy the movie. This is a good activity to do on a super hot or rainy day. If you’d like to spend some time reading but don’t have any new books, head to your local library and peruse their selection. You can check out a fun summer book to read, or you can look for a book about a topic that you’d like to learn more about.  You can also check out movies, CDs, and books on tape from the library. If you don't already have a library card, ask your librarian to help you through the process of getting one. When it’s a hot day out, enjoying ice cream or frozen yogurt is a good way to cool down. Ask a friend to meet you at the nearest ice cream shop, or invite your family to come with you. Plan to see one of your favorite singers in advance, or see if there's a free concert going on in your area. Summer is a popular season for concerts, so you should have lots to choose from once you start looking. Go online to find out when artists are coming to your area. Ask a group of friends or your family members to visit a bowling alley with you or a laser tag arena to play against one another. This works especially well with large groups. You can grab a bite to eat before or after the game with your friends or family.

Article: Using a binder will allow you to easily see all your coupons and when they expire. It is very portable and can be easily taken with you in the grocery store. One popular way to organize coupons is to use baseball card sheets in your binder. These clear plastic sheets have openings sized just right so you can slip the coupons in and out easily. You can group your coupons any way you wish within the binder, but finding a way that works for you is key to a manageable extreme couponing experience.  Some coupons make sense to organize by store. If your coupon is only good at a particular retailer, it makes sense to group it with other coupons for that retailer so that you don't forget to use it while you're there. Most other coupons make sense to organize by type: dairy, produce, meat and snacks for example.  If you're very organized, you can then organize the sheets themselves based on the path you walk through the grocery store (shelf-stable foods and households goods first, then produce, then refrigerated and frozen goods last). The more organized each sheet of coupons is when you go to the store, the easier it will be to find the products you need, remember what you are combining, and make a successful purchase.  On a given sheet, put coupons you definitely plan to redeem at the top of the page. Organize the rest by expiration date so that you won't forget to use them before they expire. If you don't know for sure which coupons you will use, file coupons as whole inserts. Instead of clipping coupons and filing them individually, you will file whole inserts together. If you have 4 of the same insert, file them all together. When it is time to use your coupons, you can just clip the ones that you will need. A spreadsheet can help you organize the coupons you have and the savings you accrue, so you will learn what strategies work best. If you're familiar with Microsoft Excel, using formulas can make the process much simpler.  Some people use spreadsheets to keep track of each individual coupon, but that can be tedious. Instead, aim to track your total savings at each store. Use headings on the spreadsheet such as date, store, total savings, and total spent in the transaction.  Use Excel SUM formulas to total each column as you go. Fill in the amounts after every shopping trip and let Excel do the rest of the work for you.

Article: Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before you plan to cook them. Rinse them with cool water and allow them to sit at room temperature. Shrimp can be boiled with their peels on or after they have been peeled.   Make sure they are completely submerged. As the water begins to heat again, watch for small bubbles to break the surface of the water. This will occur after about 1 to 2 minutes, depending on how much water is in the pot.  When you see the bubbles, remove the pot from the heat. Allow them to continue cooking in the hot water for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the size of the shrimp. They will turn pink when they are finished cooking. Pour the shrimp into a strainer or colander to drain them. Serve warm. If you didn't peel your shrimp before cooking them, you can either serve them with the peel on and allow people to peel their own shrimp, or peel the shrimp yourself when they're finished cooking and serve them that way.
