Relationships vs recession: Fun and cheap ways to spend your weekend

It’s going to be a hot one folks! So it’s a long weekend – all your friends are heading to the Cape, but you can’t afford McDonald’s. What to do.My first suggestion is to grab your sweetie and head over to a friends house that has a pool. Offer to bring something and invite yourself over without inviting yourself over. Try something like, “Wish I had a pool” or “Got any plans involving your pool this weekend?”

If you don’t have friends with pool (not to be confused with friends with benefits, although a friend with a pool IS a friend with a benefit), I suggest you have people at your house for a cookout. You can get all of your cookout needs at BJ’s or Costco for under $40. Invite less than 10 people, and ask everyone to bring something. This is a great way to spend time with quality people (assuming your friends are of good quality) and not kill your wallet.

You may also want to go to a Memorial Day parade in your area – they are FREE – and can be a lot of fun (with or without alcohol).

Don’t forget to thank a Veteran this weekend. We have our freedom because of them. God bless.
