Take advantage of cheap and free activities. You can go rollerblading, take a walk or go for a bike ride with a friend or date. Don't forget to take advantage of your local parks and get in some free tennis games.
Why not go out on a nice picnic at a nice serene spot in the park? Picnics are great money savers.
Hang out where you live. You can have family or friends over and play board games or cards.
Frisbee golf is great fun and it's usually free. All you need is a golf disc (which you can buy for $10 on average) and a frisbee golf park. Not only will you and your friend have a great time at this sport, but you'll also get really good exercise walking the course.
If you're a movie buff, then you can save money going to the lower cost matinee. Better yet, get a Netflix subscription which is very economical. Then, you can watch movies out of the comfort of your residence.
If you like plays or special events, you can't go wrong with looking to the performing arts at your local community college. The pricing is very reasonable and the entertainment is wonderful. In addition to musical plays, offerings also include comedy, dance, concerts, you name it.
You can save even more money at the performing arts theatre by using student or group discounts. Some local colleges will also advertise discount specials in your local community paper.
