Spent nothing, saw nothing, but did hear a few off in the distance. I miss having the kids around lighting off fireworks with the pic mosquito coils. It's peaceful living out in the middle of nowhere but you do miss out on somethings.
Life is good live it while you can.

Fireworks? Nada! But a condom full of oxygen and acetylene makes a bang better than a pound of Tannerite, and the gas costs less than a nickel! LOL. Need a video, Plenty on Youtube. Latex balloon would work too. Tough part is getting a good timed ignition device. Crumpled paper works but crude.

Maybe a $100 or so.
Fireworks just ain’t my thing. They’re cool for a minute, then I’m over it.

A bunch for new years but it hardly even gets dark by bedtime in the summer.
I'll bet we did $2500-$3k on New years eve. Mostly mortars

My Millbilly neighbors have been lighting 'em up every night since Friday.
I only spent about $50, to cap off an 82nd birthday party for a family friend. Happy Birthday, Betty!
And a Happy Independence Day to all!

Spent about $25. We are in CO every year for the 4th and fireworks are lame as hell so the 14 yo didn’t want anything besides some jumbo snappers.

Fireworks? Nada! But a condom full of oxygen and acetylene makes a bang better than a pound of Tannerite, and the gas costs less than a nickel! We used to fill those big balloons that had the rubber band so you could blow them up and punch them while the band bounced them back. They get about 2 feet in diameter if you put enough o2 and acetylene in them. Then we'd hang them from in the bucket of a 988 loader, tie some fuse on and light it. They'd ring that bucket like a giant bell. One day the state police showed up to the gravel pit I worked in because of complaints all over the valley of weird massive explosions. We told them what it was and they acted like they didn't believe it. So we did one for them. They loved it and were really impressed and then asked us not to do anymore because they got so many complaints. Bb

Tough part is getting a good timed ignition device. Crumpled paper works but crude. 10 feet of cotton string soaked in gasoline- - - - -light, duck, and cover!
