Our active life goes on, so I will be planning a nice eat-at-home dinner with a special sweet treat, rather than eating out. 7 – Look for FREE entertainment. Invite friends over for a potluck/game night, instead of going out to dinner. Borrow movies from the library. Find free fun in Frugal February.

You can eat out, have a few cocktails, shop, go to concerts and shows, take vacation and more. The weather is finally getting warmer and from now until October, there will be so many free entertainment options that we’ll have to pass most of them up. Free books, DVDs, and music from the Library. Frugal fun?

Cameras had to have actual film and pictures had to be developed after the whole roll of film was ‘exposed’ Research was done at a library using the Dewey decimal system, not a search engine. There wasn’t a restaurant on every corner and people didn’t eat out much. Entertainment. All TV was free.

What we’re NOT paying for: • Groceries • Household Items • Clothing • Meals Out • Entertainment How we’ll manage: Eat from the Pantry/Freezer We have a very well-stocked freezer and pantry, of which we’ll be taking advantage. So, not only did we get organized, we also discovered some “free” entertainment.
