What did the pig say on a hot summer day?

... I'm bacon!

This heat is so funny, it hurts. It's going to be 100+ this weekend so you can forget doing anything outside during the day. We found some things for you to do inside and as the sun is setting.

If all else fails, do some shopping.

• Mabel's on 4th is offering a 25 percent discount on all online orders using the code "summer" during the month of June. Get the cutest saguaro cookie cutters without leaving the house. Check it out here

• Summer movies are coming in hot. If you were planning on heading to the movie theaters, get some candy at CVS before. Buy one package of Haribo gummy bears and get one free (with CVS card) or three Hershey snacks for $4 (with CVS card). Get it before the deal ends on June 17. 

• Moms, get 40 percent off Liz Claiborne apparel at JCPenney through June 18. Check out the deal here

Oh, and don't forget your daddios this weekend, it's Father's Day.
