Look over there—see it? Just over that Labor Day hill? It’s fall. Here, three small ways to wrap up your summer in style—and on budget.
| 1. | Clean the air filters on your air conditioners and furnace. Not only will this reduce the chance of a fire or premature appliance death, a quick rinse under the kitchen tap can can lower your energy consumption by 5-15%—that’s year round, people. |
| 2. | Pick a budget, any budget. We’ve got a few you can try, so that three months from now, the holidays don’t crack your plastic. |
| 3. | Wear a seersucker dress with white wedges to a picnic, while you still have that end-of-summer glow. Take pix. Two months from now, when you’re wearing courduroys, you’ll be so happy you immortalized your gorgeous self. |
