Wichita on the Cheap

🍔✨ Summer schedules are officially in full swing, and some days it feels like we're living out of the car between activities.

That's why I'm always on the lookout for a good meal deal. I've put together a list of the 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟱 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸! If your kids are anything like mine, they also love the deals that involve dessert 😜

There is so much happening around Wichita this weekend that I couldn't possibly fit it all into one graphic. The best part? So many of these events are 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲.

🩰✨ One of my favorite things about summer is stumbling across events that feel special without costing a thing.

The 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗻 are coming to parks around the Wichita area 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟭𝟬–𝟭𝟰, and they’re such a fun way to spend an evening with the family. Grab a lawn chair or blanket and enjoy a night of ballet under the stars.

🎭🌳 One of the things we’re most looking forward to this summer is 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤 with the Wichita Shakespeare Company.

The first performance is this Friday, and we’re crossing our fingers that the weather cooperates! Don’t forget to 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐭 and settle in for a fun evening outdoors. Best of all? Every performance is free!

⛽💸 With gas prices creeping up again, my husband and I have been trying to be a little more intentional about saving at the pump.

We've started paying more attention to fuel rewards, where we're filling up, and even those little habits that waste gas. (I am definitely guilty of idling in the driveway too long before leaving 😅)

So I put together a list of some easy ways to save on gas. Every little bit helps! And don't forget to check out our website for 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗮 before your next fill-up.
