Save $$$ this summer with Museums for All.

Sometimes it can be hard for families who are low income to go out & have a fun time with the family simply because of ticket prices, so knowing about awesome programs like Museums for All can be extremely helpful to know. What is Museums for All? It is a program that hundreds of museums across the United States participates in to help provide families on SNAP/EBT benefits with free or reduced prices for museums in their area. 

Every state will have a different number of museums that are participating so they have made it easy for you to locate which museums in your area are included. You simply need to visit their website & select your home state to see a complete list of participating museums. For example Arizona has eleven different museums that participate in different areas of the state. A few of our favorite spots to visit are on the list along with some other options we haven't visited yet. In order to receive the discount, you'll need to show your SNAP card + ID that matches the name on the card at the box office where you purchase tickets at each museum. 

Once you've located a museum you'd like to visit you can then check out that museums website for official information on the discount through Museums for All. For example, the Arizona Science Center provides tickets for $3 per person for SNAP card holders. Normally tickets are almost $22 for adults & $16 for children so using this discount is huge, especially for families that have more than one child or adult who will be visiting at one time. These savings can then be put towards visiting another museum during the summer, towards weekly expenses or getting to go out to lunch. 

Some museums also offer certain days during the month where it is free to visit for the general public, which is a great option but it can get a little crowded, so Museums for all may be a better option if you want to avoid more people than usual.

Even if you don't see your local museum or even zoo on the list provided by Museums for All, I highly suggest looking around their website anyways for any discounts they offer. There are many zoos and more that offer the same type of discounts for SNAP card holders that you can take advantage of. If you know someone who could benefit from this program that might not have heard of it I encourage you to pass this post along to them.

**This is not a sponsored post, nor did I receive anything in exchange for this post. I know how tough it can be when you are struggling and I always love sharing ways to help families & individuals save some extra funds while still being able to explore and have fun.**

Boxed Review & Giveaway!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Boxed for the review free of charge.****

Do you love shopping in bulk but prefer not to pay for a yearly membership to a local wholesale retailer? I have the perfect solution for you! Boxed.com offers low priced bulk products including grocery items and beauty items. Up until a week ago I didn't know Boxed.com existed and now I am sorry I didn't know about it I love their website and most of all I love their prices. I was lucky enough to receive a chance to participate in a review and host a contest (will be posted soon) for Boxed.com taking a look at the products below how much would you guess the total was? $140 maybe $120 discounted? If you guess anything over one hundred dollars you would have been wrong for all six of the bulk products below it only came out to $88 with free two day shipping.

There are a number of products available ranging from Laundry soap, to dog food, tooth paste and even beef jerky. It was hard to decide what to get for my review there were so many wonderful products to choose from so I narrowed them down to our favorites. Looking up prices at a similar retailer and the price comes out to over $100 I can see where the better price and better place to shop is and that is Boxed who offers a Free membership and cheap prices. Did you know an average trip to a local warehouseclub takes over 180 minutes? Boxed gives you back 179 of them. I felt more comfortable and happy shopping from home instead of going to a big warehouse full of people to look for what I am in need of. I placed my order on Monday September 8th and received it on Wednesday September 10th, Now keep in mind I live closer to where these products were shipped from so your order can take slightly longer. One of the big things I noticed and thought was sweet was that a note was included with my package wishing me luck with potty training my son I ordered a Huggies Pullups Combo pack which 1.) I didn't know existed before working with this company and 2.) was an unbeatable price. Along with their already amazing prices they also have a "stuff on sale" section where you can find a large handful of products with sales prices. Customer service was fast, friendly and professional.
