subject: Things To Do On A Budget [print this page] With Christmas fast approaching there has never been a better time to start watching your pennies and save some much needed cash for all those important Christmas presents. When you have a lot of presents to buy and plenty of fun nights out to attend, it's a good idea to set yourself a strict budget in the preceding months so you know exactly what you need to do to make sure your festive season isn't a frugal one. All that budgeting does mean that your usual fun weekend activities will have to take a back seat, but it doesn't mean you can't have any fun at all, as there are plenty of exciting activities you can do, in and around your home, that are low cost or completely free.
If you're looking for some fun free activities to entertain you as you save for Christmas you can start by looking online, or in local magazines, to see what free activities are on in your area. From Christmas markets to country walks there are an abundance of places where you can spend your free time, with very little expenditure. If you want to get out of the cold weather check out if there are any free talks or exhibitions you can attend. Most art galleries and museums are free to enter so you can spend a lovely day out admiring some art and exhibitions for next to nothing.
If that doesn't sound like your kind of thing then you can always try to find activities in your own home that will entertain you and your friends. You don't always have to brave the chilly weather to have a bit of fun for free. Start by gathering all your friends together and organising a games night or two. This can be done very cheaply if you ask everyone to bring some snacks and drinks for everyone to share.
If you are missing out on your weekly trips to the cinema to save money you could always set up a low cost movie night in your own living room. Grab some microwave popcorn and invite a few friends over for a fun night of entertainment without the usual high cinema prices. If you want to make your evening even more special then opt for a high definitionmovie so you can enjoy a good quality film that will feel exactly like you are watching it in a movie theatre, rather than in the comfort of your own home.
There are plenty of free and low cost activities you can do if you are looking to save money for Christmas so grab your mates and check out what's available in your area, and if all else fails, turn your own home into a place of entertainment instead. Not only will you save a ton of money but your friends will all thank you for saving them a wad of cash too.
