We like to use our Discover card when we are making large purchases or traveling. Although we like to pay cash for everything that we can, when it comes to larger purchases or trips, we like to use our Discover card to earn rewards. We pay it off before it accrues interest and still earn cash back! It is nice because the next big purchase we make, we have some cash back to apply towards it! It works out great!

When August rolls around, it is time to get clothes, shoes, backpacks, lunchboxes, school supplies and more! We try to do all of our shopping during Tax Free Holiday weekend and save even more money!
