How to Have Fun for Free

On a day when fun is needed, but funds have depleted, you need to enjoy your life! Believe it of not, the best things in life are free! The steps below will show you how to have fun for free, no matter where you are.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Go to the beach! Public beaches are free and fun. You can also walk on the boardwalk. Have fun building sandcastles or fishing on the pier.
2. Go window shopping. Go to a strip mall and check out the new arrivals. Just remember that you don’t have to limit your window shopping to clothing stores. Stop by the window displays at electronics and jewelry stores. New technical gadgets are always coming out on the market!
3. Inquire about free company amenities. You may not know this, but a lot of times the company you work for has a list of places (i.e. museums and aquariums) that are free of charge if you provide your work identification card at the admissions counter!
4. Look at each season as a new way to have fun. In the summer you can shoot hoops at the basketball court, play tennis or walk around the neighborhood with your friends. In the fall you can pull out your camera and take pictures of the autumn leaves. Fall is also a great time to go to a pumpkin patch. Winter is fun because you can play in the snow or stay inside and watch the snow with a cup of hot chocolate or a latte. Spring is great for bicycling!
5. Invite your friends over for a night of board games, cards and charades. The cover charge is a small dish or drink of choice. Your contribution will be the free entertainment, so be ready to host!
