Summer is literally the best, but sometimes you do not have the budget to do everything that you want. Well here are some great ways to still have fun even if you are on a tight budget.
1. Drive in Movie
Drive-in movies are a great way to have fun on a budget. These prices are relatively cheap and most drive-ins offer double features is really cool because you are able to see two movies in a unique setting while still having the normal amenities of a theatre. A common misconception is that one might have is not being able to hear however the there is a specific radio station that will have the audio for the movie that you are watching.
2. Go to the Farmers Market
The farmers market is a lot of fun. You are able to connect to a new side of your community while buying fresh and locally grown foods. It is awesome because you are able to learn about new foods that may not be available at your normal grocery store. Besides the great food, the atmosphere is awesome. There is a real sense of community it is definitely something worth being a part of .
3. Visit the Local Museum
Many museums have certain nights or days of the week that are free or discounted. At museum you are able to see some really great works, but also some really cool exhibits. The exhibits are changed often so you would be able to see multiple exhibits throughout the summer months. The modern art musuem is often the most well received as it shows unconventional art. It is really inspiring seeing how the artist came to their finished product.
4. Road Trip to the Beach or the Lake
Road-tripping is so much fun, not only do you save on overall travel prices but are also able to see places that can be easily skipped over. This definetely my favorite part of the trip is the stops in between at the coolest gas stations like Buc-ees. The memories made while getting to the destination are just icing on the cake once arriving at the beach or the lake. Its a great time to relax and enjoy the weather with friends and maybe even a good book.
5. Do Fun a Run
Throughout the summer there are several runs like the glow glow run, color run, foam run and so on. This a great way to stay active in the summer while also having a lot of fun. If you register early you can get your admission to the race at a discounted prices. There are even group rates for you and your friends to do the race all together. I love this because it is a good time from start to finish.
All in all, summer is what you make it. Find something you like to do, find a group a friends and have a good time enjoying each other.
