Frugal Mania

If you’re a frugal maniac, you may be staying home for this Memorial Day weekend. Here are some fun frugal tips of things to do this weekend:

1. Throw a barbeque or accept an invitation to one - BBQs are really inexpensive parties to throw. If you’re a Sam’s or Costco member, go there to get your bulk amount of hamburger meat, hotdogs, buns, chips, and soda. Also - you can always ask guests to contribute a side dish or drinks. Ask guest to bring alcohol - this will save you alot of money.

2. Go to Old Navy for a $1 pair of flip flops - What better way to get ready for summer than to get a new pair of flip flops and you can’t say no to only spending a $1 - Get more info about this sale at Bargain Styling

3. Hang out at the park - Grab a new book at the library and your shades and hit the park for some sunshine and fun reading!

4. Visit a local state park - Be adveturesome - take an hour or two drive away from home and go to a state park you’ve never been to.. grab friend, borrow a dog, or just GO!! Experience Mother Nature!

5. Go to the zoo - When was the last time you went to the zoo? Bring your camera, an open mind, and splurge on something like a snowcone or flamingo grabby thing at the store..

6. POOL TIME - This is when the pools are all opening.. If you don’t have one where you live, think about who you know that lives somewhere with one.. This is a great time to rekindle that friendship..

7. Spring Cleaning - Okay.. I know.. lame of me.. But Clean out your wardrobe closet. Here’s a good tip: If you haven’t worn it in a year, get rid of it. But please make sure to donate to a local Goodwill or clothing donation center.

8. Try out some new recipes - Challenge yourself to make all new dinners this weekend. Grab those cook books and hit the FARMERS MARKETS..

9. Summer cocktails - This may just be my favorite thing about the summer: Sangria, Pina Colada, Margaritas, Daquiris - like music to my ears.. Treat yourself to some fabulously tasty beverages..

10. Sleep in!! - Don’t dare set that alarm clock this weekend.. It’s your weekend off!
