MID JULY FREAK-OUT

" How to Avoid that Mid-July Freak-out"

  Okay so August is less than a month away and no matter how old you get, we ALL know what that means-back to school!!! But no fear...Jeffrey A. Smith & Associates Memphis Real Estate team is here with some ways to make the most of the summer as it tapers off. Here goes......

You like free? Um yea-who doesn't?

• On Tuesdays, The Memphis Zoo & Pink Palace are free with a Tennessee id from 2-5pm
• Take a downtown stroll along the Mississippi River 
• Have a picnic at the park
• Feed ducks at the park
• Walk your dog-or cat-(kidding) around the block
• Ride your bike on the Greenline at Shelby Farms
• Use your spare time to search for your dream home with the help of Jeffrey A. Smith & Associates Memphis Real Estate Team

Low Cost More Your Style?

• Shelby Farms has Paddle-boats that are $12 for a 2 seater or $18 for a 4 seater. It's one hour of wearing a life jacket and seeing how much calf muscle you really have that you will never forget-in a good way though.
• Goodwill!!!! The only place women can shop 'til they drop without breaking the bank ( or their hubby's heart when he sees the bank statement).
• Many restaurants like Chilli's, Applebee's and T.G.I.F.'s have 2 for $20 where couples can have two entrees and either a dessert or appetizer for $20 (don't forget to tip!)
• Create your own mini garden in your backyard. The dollar tree has seeds and gardening tools and even soil! Money is no excuse! Besides who doesn't love a homegrown tomato? Put your green thumb to work!!
• Speaking of the dollar tree, there are so many crafts and low cost ideas that you can give into without feeling bad if it doesn't turn out perfect.
