Tip#4: Entertainment Savings
Entertainment can sometimes empty your wallet. With the cost of everything rising you should consider these tips for cutting back on the cost of entertainment. There are several ways to save while still being able to enjoy yourself! Check some of my suggestions out….
First, plan ahead. If you plan in advance, this will give you time to save a few extra dollars and even look for coupons. Going to dinner? Check out www.wow-coupons.com or radio station WJBR’s 1/2 price outlet page at www.wjbr.com. WJBR offers half price gift certificates to several different places. This is a huge savings!
Are you feeling the affects of the economic crunch and can’t afford to go out? Have friends over! A good way to entertain at home is to invite your friends over and ask each one to bring a dish. This is a cheap fun way to spend an evening entertaining. Want to offer more than socializing? Open the closet and grab those games that were collecting dust. This is also a great way to entertain and strike up lots of laughter! And what about free fun? Hit the parks or beach and all you’ll have to worry about is the gas to get there and the picnic lunch you packed.
Next, are you a movie buff? Do you keep up with new releases at the movie theatre? Going to the movies can be pricey. For the average family of four, it can cost nearly $100.00 to go to a movie on a Friday night. That is outrageous! Plan ahead to get the best deals. Places like Costco offer movie deals at a discounted rate. If you know other movies buffs see if they would be interested in buying movie tickets in bulk. Buying tickets in bulk right from the cinema’s website can cut the cost of tickets almost in half. Check out www.regalcinema.com for more details.
If you’re really frugal, you can check out the local public library to see what movie selections they have to borrow and you might be surprise at the selection and best of all…its free!
Is bowling your thing? This can also be a costly evening out for the average family. Well, not if you join your favorite bowling alley’s mailing list. This is the easiest way to save. Most bowling alley’s send out monthly coupons which offer great savings!
Entertainment doesn’t have to be expensive. Keep these tips in mind and you will be able to enjoy an evening of thrills without the guilt of spending a fortune!
