Counting Pennies

Absolutely broke this weekend? You’re not the only one. You don’t need money to have a fun weekend.

• Go out for a picnic. You can get a few quick snacks to take along or simply use food you have around the house. There are no rules as to what picnic food should look like so get creative.
• Visit your local library for a few books, magazines or even DVDs. Then make yourself a cup of chocolate or homemade ice tea and just relax and enjoy.
• Treat yourself to a spa night –Right at home. Dig into your beauty supplies and search for creams, scrubs and masks you haven’t used in weeks. Have nothing on hand? Use fresh cucumber slices or papaya to make your own mask (lots of recipes online).
• Go garage-sale browsing. Even if you don’t buy anything, you’ll still have fun, but you’re likely to run into some cheap (but nice) stuff.
• Look for free outdoor concerts or festivals. Local community centers and parks often offer them on weekend evenings.
• Take a walk. Explore your town and what it has to offer. Walk in neighborhoods you don’t know well or simply take an unknown street on your way home.
• Sunbathe. Go to the beach or the local park to enjoy the warm weather. Just protect your skin and drinks lots of water.
• Be a tourist in your own town. Head to a local museum, visit famous tourist attractions and explore old parks and squares.
