This is a good post. By the title I was expecting a list of free things that you could do around town. However, these are some ways to be proactive while avoiding spending as well.
ReplyDeleteI love these ideas. I am all about no spending, but it can be tricky. I do love to binge-watch shows over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list! We've been looking for ways to curb costs here and there, will have to try some of your ideas!
ReplyDeleteNo spend is practically every day for me. I spend a ton of time doing things that don't cost a ton of money. Thankfully, I'm very good at budgeting and always make sure that I all bills are paid before I do anything else.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list, combining fun things along with some of the more mundane things. However, getting those things done usually makes us feel good and makes our lives run more smoothly.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy spending a weekend without spending any centavo. I love how you incorporate things on your list.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this list! I am planning to learn a new language. I have time but do not want to spend. ha!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of no-spend weekends. We're saving up for a huge summer trip so we're spending a lot of these. It will be well worth it in the end. (Rena)
ReplyDeleteWow, these are such good ideas. I am bookmarking because the weekends are when we spend the MOST money. Thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! I've never thought about a no cost weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow - that's a great list. I've had to do no cost weekends before (single mommy over here) so this is a great thing to keep on hand if I need to do one again!
