15 Cheap And Fun Things to Do This Weekend

Here’s a list to help free you from boredom without emptying your wallet this weekend.

1. Go to the Park

You can take your family or go with a friend. Swing on the swings like when you were a kid.

2. Watch the Sunset

Find a great spot in your community to catch the sunset. We have a lake by our house that offers some great views!

3. Pack a Picnic Lunch

Throw a picnic lunch together and find a shady spot to enjoy the day with your loved ones.

4. Play Board Games

Bring out the old favorites like Monopoly or Scrabble, or find new board games to play.

5. Play Card Games

Invite a few friends over and have a card night.

6. Throw a B.Y.O.E. Party

This stands of Bring Your Own Everything. Guests are encouraged to bring food and drinks to share. 

7. Have a Bonfire or Campfire in Your Backyard

Make s’mores and play campfire games.

8. Get Ice Cream

Hit up your local ice cream shop and indulge in your favorite dish! Our local Dairy Queen is located right on the lake, which ties in perfect with #2!

9. Make a Romantic Dinner

Plan a romantic, candlelight dinner for your spouse or loved one. Romance need not be expensive! 

10. Grill Something New

Try a new grilling recipe. Recently I tried chicken breast stuffed with cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, basil, and tomatoes! Mmmm!

11. Go to the Farmers Market

Communities will usually have farmers markets on the weekends where you can get locally grown produce. The food is fresh and delicious! 

12. Invite Your Neighbors Over

With today’s busy pace, it seems harder to get to know our neighbors. Invite them over for dinner or dessert and make an effort to know more about them.

13. Go to the Beach

Hit the sandy shores for a little rest and relaxation. Just don’t forget to protect your skin!

14. Go to the Library

There are many benefits your local library has to offer besides just books. You can rent movies, page through magazines, or surf the net.

15. Go Bowling

Get some friends together and have a blast at the lanes!

Hopefully these ideas are enough to get you started on a fun, cheap, and rewarding weekend!
