Frugal summer activities

It's Friday, thank goodness, and I've already checked out for the weekend so here's some lovely fluff for you.  I bring you a list of 25 excellent summer activities that are highly affordable if you do it right ;).  Summer is winding down so it's time to make sure you get out and enjoy it!  I love summer, but I'm on a budget, shocker I know, so here are some cheap ideas I brainstormed for our weekend.  It is my goal to indulge in at least five of these this weekend for some lazy and easy summer fun:
  1. Go fishing 
  2. Take a walk
  3. Read a book in the shade - from the library
  4. Go to the dog park
  5. Play some frisbee, catch, kickball, or soccer
  6. Look for free events near you like concerts, out door movies, Shakespeare outdoors etc
  7. Grill
  8. Take pictures of all the fun you're having
  9. Go for a bike ride
  10. Take a trip to a you-pick farm
  11. Tackle some house projects that have been on the wish list
  12. Plant a garden

  1. This summer I haven been riding my bike 6 days a week. I read 20 books since the beginning of July and even took a class for 4 weeks. I am busy and very productive.

  3. I absolutely love the idea of your blog and that you are shooting for no debt after graduation. I wish you the best of luck and can't wait to read about your journey! You are definitely setting a GREAT example for other students!

  5. Great ideas! I just came back from a bike ride along our bayou and saw a pink-billed ibis, two turtles, and fish:).

  6. Good ideas! Some universities even have free equipment rentals and outdoor clubs.. another great bargain for zero cost entertainment (that actually saves you money down the line because you will probably be in greater health and not need to access healthcare as frequently)
