4th of July

Independence Day is a day we fought for our independence from the British right? WRONG. It's the day the Declaration of Independence was signed. Go read Wikipedia! Culturally, unless you stay at home with thirty cats, the 4th of July is about getting together with friends and family and having BBQ's.



Here are the trailer trash tips for the Fourth.


#1 Stay at the parents vacation place for free.


#2 Buy a small table top grill, charcoal and hickory smoked wood chips. Your grilled food will taste like it was cooked in a Traeger.

#3 Eat BBQ Wieners - I prefer Hebrews at the moment. They have less fat, no fillers, no nitrates yada yada yada. . . and they are at Costco. Did I tell you I like Costco?

#4 Eat corn on the cob! The most flavorful needs no added butter and salt.




#5 Eat sliced watermelon that drips down your chin





#6 Eat banana boat dessert warmed by the camp fire





(I could also add, your spouse/mate can accidentally forget the tent and you both can be forced to sleep on the air mattress in the back of the Swaggerwagon, true story. Kudo's to the new Swaggerwagons for all the space and easy to convert seating. Unfortunately no pics this time.)

Total vacation spending $150 including gas and food.
Smell of the outhouse lingering in our noses because the area was that primitive . . .priceless.

Happy Fourth Everybody!

As I was telling the family about the new Trailer Trash Blog, the name seemed to raise a red flag. Hmmm. . . How did the movie Clueless portray this image as comical and not negative? First off we mean no ill intention. Our motive is to show how to save money and make our dollars stretch with a funny theme attached. Our goal is to get out of the trailer park and own a few of them. Stay Cool!
