With how expensive it is now a day to simply pay for bills and food, any little extra expense can send your budget into a high-speed nose dive; and back to school shopping isn't exactly a "little expense" once you add up all of the clothes and school supplies. If you are reading this, it is most likely because you are a wise and thrifty shopper who seeks for any opportunity to save money; that is a very good start. Here you will find some smart little tips and tricks to help you develop your game plan when it comes to smart back-to-school shopping!

• Make a List and Check it Twice!-Be sure to get the list provided from the school of the supplies that your children will need. This will give you a starting point, but chances are that you really don't need everything on that list. Check with your children too and ask them what supplies from the list they think they will actually need.
• First check the house- Before you go shopping for new things, take inventory of what you already have in the house. Go through all of the supplies that you have in the house to determine what is still good to use and what you need to buy. Also, go through all of your children's clothes and see what still fits them and what could be handed down to other siblings. Make a list of the bare essentials that your children need and stick to the list to prevent over-spending.
• Check the Sunday paper- Some stores will offer special sales on certain days during certain hours. Look for who has the best prices on what you are looking for and make a list of all the places that you are going to go and what you are shopping for there.
• Don't buy cheap where is counts- Now, this may seem like a contradiction, but think about it; if you buy cheap markers and pens that dry up in a couple of uses or break and leak all over your children's clothes, this will cost you  more money in the long run. Look for quality items that are on sale that will last!

Could you use some extra back-to-school shopping money? If you have any scrap gold in the house that is broken, unused and unwanted, you and bring it down to your local Check City where they pay you more since they deal locally; three to five times as much as other places!

One was sent to Cash4Gold.com and two weeks later a check was received for: $81.

So far this summer, we have offered you blogs about a variety of summer tips, such as swimming safety for your youngsters, grilling safety, sun block, and even tips for your pooch! This time, it is all about you. This just might be the most important tip for your summer, and for your life. And here it is; enjoy yourself.

Enjoy Yourself.

Sounds pretty vague and obvious, right? Well, that is because it is. However, that does not mean that it holds any less value. Make sure that this summer you actually take the time to mindfully take it all in. Here are some great tips for you to not only better enjoy your summer, but to better enjoy life as well. Time with loved one is the most precious gift you have...make the most of it.

Relax!

• Not just the 'kick back and take a nap' relaxing. Try to let go. Remember, nothing is ever going to go exactly as planned; who cares! You don't want people to remember you as the stressed-out, up-tight one all vacation long. Just take things as they come, embrace what happens, and roll with the punch.

Unwind

• When was the last time you watched the sunset, or the last time you woke up early to cuddle up with your significant other to watch the sunrise. Get outside and take in some deep breaths of fresh air.

Treasure the moments:

• Don't just mindlessly push through everything. Try to capture mental moments; sights, sounds, smells, and feelings. Instead of spending the whole day at the beach trying to keep everything under control and moving along, take some moments to look at your little ones; watch them for who they are and not so much for what they are getting into. They'll be grown up before you know it; treasure the times you have together.

There is plenty of time to worry about work, school, finances and all that jazz; and there is really no way around that, just make sure to try to savor life's precious moments all you can!

Happy Summer from Check City: Where you go for all of your short-term financial needs, from payday loans to gold buying!

Here is some great motivation for anyone looking to get in great shape, at any age.

Ernestine Shepherd! Haven't heard of her? Well she has been turning heads for years now and being an inspiration to many seaking a healthy and happy lifestyle.

At age 56, Ernestine Shephered went swim suit shopping with her older sister. The experience those sisters had on that shopping trip was one that many woman feel they can relate to. When they put the swimsuits on, they were feeling a little down about they way they looked. They both decided that something needed to be done.

Together, Ernestine and her sister began taking aerobic classes together, and that was the begining of life's journey.

Today, at age 74, Ernestine not only teaches aerobics five days a week, but she has won 8 marathons, runs 80 miles a week, and holds the Guinness world record for being the oldest body builder! Talk about inspiration for all.

Remember, being in great shape is different for different people, and that transformation doesn't happen over night. Ernestine is a great reminder that everyone can get into great shape at any age, so long as you are "Determined, Dedicated and Disciplined."

Looking to transform your gold into sweet cash? Send or bring your scrap gold down to your local Check City where you can get three to five times as much as what other gold buyers will pay. Check City has been in the financial industry for over 23 years and is a name you can trust.

Retailers were keeping their fingers crossed as they pushed to clear out summer merchandise with sales to make room for back-to-school merchandise. Recent reports by CBS reveal that they were left disappointed, to say the least, with a slow June month.

It appear as though consumers are being more cautious than ever as highly discounted merchandise is barely dragging in shoppers. Retailers are nervous about the slow kick off of back-to-school shopping as well, and are hoping for last minute shoppers to pull them through the season.

Some analysis's are also forecasting a slow holiday shopping season ahead.

What is causing consumers to refrain from spending? Some would argue that it is not simply a matter of consumers refraining from spending, but rather consumers don't have the money to be spending due to the struggling economy. Others are saying that consumers do have the money, but that they are holding on tight due to fear of the recent talk of a possible double-dip recession in our near future.

Others have been saying that there is no forecast of a double-dip recession and that if we want to keep from bring more financial trouble to our economy, we need to keep buying as we need and desire.

There are reports showing that the job market is beginning to show a healthy improvement, and perhaps even a steady recovery; though, despite the improvement, many are still occasionally falling onto difficult times and finding short-term solutions helpful while they get back on their feet.

Whatever the cause of weak consumer spending is, there is one thing for sure; because of weak summer sales, retailers are letting merchandise go with incredible sales, and now may just be a good time for consumers to get the deals that they have been waiting for. Perhaps if consumers take advantage for the great deals happening around them, they can give the economy a good boost and finally put an end to all of the "slow economy" talk.

And if you are wanting some extra money for that back-to-school shopping, now would be a great time to sell some of the unwanted scrap gold you have laying around since the gold market is at an all time high. Check City pays three to five times as much as other gold buyers and are known for their great customer care.
