How to Have Fun Without Spending a Ton
How to Have Fun Without Spending a Ton
It's not that you don't have the money, but sometimes it's just not necessary to spend a lot while spending time with friends!
THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH FRIENDS…
…without spending a bunch of dinero!
1) Iron Chef Night: Have friends over and be creative by cooking a dinner out of whatever is already in your kitchen. No buying additional ingredients- that's cheating!
2) Volunteer Day: Nothing says “true love” like taking care of others. Gather a group of your friends, find a volunteer opportunity, and get to work together. You'll create an impact on the world and on one another!
3) Vision Boarding: Grab your magazines, newspapers, and scissors, ask your friends to do the same, and gtg to create personal vision boards! Google the how-to's or visit my blog to get the 411!
4) Movie Night: It's popcorn and movie time with the besties! Netflix, PJ's, and potluck-style snacks make this a budget-worthy, fun evening in!
5) Discover Your Town: Go on a walking tour of your local historic district or make one up! Discover the picturesque selfie-spots you've not noticed before. Create a scavenger hunt list and may the best discoverer win!
6) Support-Your-Community Day/Night: Attend a local high school or college sports event, attend a local play, gather together and cheer one another on!
7) Swap Party: This works like a yard sale, but amongst friends, swapping “things” instead of money! Grab your fabulously gently-used clothes/things and trade! Whatever isn’t traded can be nicely packaged and taken to a local shelter, Goodwill, or even picked up by the Lymphoma Society.
8) Talent Show: Gather your besties, potluck-style the snacks, and share your talents with one another! Teach one another the how-to’s, if possible!
9) Gratitude Party: We’re grateful for one another, so let’s prove it! Make thank-you-for-being-you cards with your friends and mail them out en masse. Play music, snack, draw, create, laugh, share, be grateful!
10) Karaoke Night: You don’t have to go to a karaoke club for this one. Attach your laptop to the TV (if you can), YouTube your favorite karaoke-able tunes, & sing and dance your heart out! Can’t sing? It’s ok? You’re amongst friends and love each other anyway.
There are so many options. I know it's hard to think of things in the spur of the moment, so hopefully my little lists help you!
