More Ways to Enjoy Family and Friends on a Budget

A couple of days ago, I shared some ways to have frugal fun with family and friends. Since it’s springtime and summer is just around the corner, I thought I’d provide even more ways that you can save money without sacrificing a good time with the ones you love.

* Go to the petting zoo - These smaller zoos don’t have the large, exotic animals that you’ll find at the bigger zoos, but the little kids will enjoy feeding and petting these animals.

* Go boating - If you live near lakes or oceans, you’ll probably find baoting is fun and relaxing. Canoes and paddle boat rentals are usually not very expensive and when you’re done there are usually other cheap or free activities in the surrounding area.

* Attend events at colleges in your area - Local colleges often put on different events for fun and entertainment. These can include concerts, plays, dance recitals, and even movie showings. The prices are almost always pretty low so that the starving students can afford them.

Getting out and enjoying time with family and friends doesn’t have to break the bank. If you get creative and look hard enough you’ll find that there are lost of free and inexpensive ways to enjoy the ones you love even when you’re on a budget.

Another economical way to go out with the family, is a trip to any place closer to home, either sea or mountain, each with his backpack and water and snack. It was a day of enjoyment insurance.

@silcana - Backpacking is a great idea. Pack some healthy snack, get some fresh and exercise with the family :)
@Another Blogger - How could I forget the museum? :) Great idea! There is so much beauty and culture to be found there. Definitely!
