Things To Do On A Low Budget - Enjoy The Day


What are your favorite things to do on a tight budget with your spouse or special friend?

I listed a few ideas on ways to still have fun with your partner with very little money but still have some fun and enjoy each other’s company. If you can, please add to my list.

I would love to hear your ideas. This can help us all enjoy life a little more and help our wallets at the same time.

- Share an appetizer and a salad at your local restaurant. For very little cost, the two of you can split a dish, share a drink, and enjoy an afternoon lunch together.

- Take a stroll in your local park. There are a lot of waterscapes, country sides, cityscapes to take a walk together. Let's not forget our national and historic parks.

- Single? Take a jog or walk in your area. See if there is a local walking club or bike club to join. These activities are usually free and a great way to meet people and just have fun.

- Local museums. Great to go see whether you are single or with someone. Many local museums are free of charge and the larger ones usually don’t cost too much.

- Let’s not forget renting movies. Now, at your local grocery stores, offers movies to rent for only $1.00. This is a great way to see some recent movies without those high charges.

- Reading!!! Go to a local park and lay down a blanket and read a great book! Wonderful way to relax and get out for zero cost. Or go to a coffee shop or a local tea shop. There are many great places in your area to read books and magazines and enjoy the day.

- Saving Tip - you can put money away each week into a glass jar and slowly save up for those special nights out. You will be surprised on how extra change and a few dollars here and there can start to add up.

- What do you like to do with your spouse on a low budget? Love to hear your comments and add to this list.

- Single? Same thing. Love to hear your ideas on how you save money and still enjoy going out with your friends.


- Do you live where it is cold?  Ice skating is fun! Build a snow man? Also, during bad weather you can take a walk in your local indoor strip mall.


- Indoors? Bowling is always an all time favorite. If you have not gone in a while...try it again!

- Also Indoor Board Games. There are so many new games out there too. And don't forget the classics.

- Invite some friends over and have everyone bring a dish / Potluck. For those guests who don't like to cook, have them bring a bottle of wine. Now the party is ready!

- What Our Your Suggestions?

  1. Join together with some friends who like cooking and take turns in hosting dinners. You could ask everyone to bring a bottle of wine or something similar. That way, you have good company and good food too. Or you could go one step further and do something like "Come Dine with me" where chefs attempt to wow each other with their culinary skills with a chance of winning some money at the end of it.
