Do yourself a favor and schedule in some time to be creative 💕
Our stay-at-home date night idea included mini canvases, water color palettes, and brushes from the Dollar General. (plus a few snacks 😉)
There’s this assumption when talking about frugality that it means a lifestyle of no fun, ever. “But if I live like a pauper, how will I ever take my cherished babies to Disney World?” we wail, assuming that a) Disney World is fun, and b) it’s impossible to afford fun on a frugal budget. I am …
felt like writing something so this is it.
that’s it you can go.
Bike Trip #1!
The best bike trip yet! I’ll hit you with some raw numbers before getting into how it actually felt to ride. (data generated with the Geo Tracker app)
That first part was amazing, just getting out in the middle of the night, nobody around to try and run me off the road. I’m right near a nice mountain, so I was able to get some altitude on the main downhill street, and you can see just how I took advantage of that.
Pretty quickly, I decided to get lost and just cruise. Always somewhere to go when you don’t know where you are. I even got to cross one of the awful half highway half main streets without any kind of crosswalk. Nothing like shameless law-breaking to feel powerful. As long as it doesn’t hurt anyone, of course.
I’m pretty sure that huge elevation climb you see was where I decided to actually leave the city limits behind me. Had to go over the single biggest overpass I know! I think it goes over 8 different freeways? I’ll count next time, but it’s massive!
The next few cities are tiny things, and besides the lovely businesses along the sides of the road, with signs like
there’s really not a lot to see.
As I got further away, I decided to just see what I could do before the buses came back in the morning. Luckily for me, it’s easy to know which direction’s downhill thanks to my bike’s finicky mechanics. I found a really great back road I’ll have to show you another time, too. Goes right over the freeway (probably one I went over already, knowing how things go around here), but it’s somehow the most peaceful spot I found the whole trip.
Total trip cost: $5.78, for snacks and bus fare.
Sir, vase? Uh . . .
How To Have Good Cheap Fun In The City:
While you may be stuck wondering if there’s anything you can do other than walk around aimlessly, there are plenty of solutions. If you’re stuck in a city with little to no money, here’s some fun ideas to try:
Go dumpster diving. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of finding discarded treasures. Who knows, you may help solve a murder by finding a body.
Swim in a fountain. You know they look refreshing. Most fountains also come with coins at the bottom that you can take so long as nobody’s around to see.
Throw dead rats at passing cars. You can use the rats you’ve trapped yourself or forage for dead rats, all that matters is that you’ve got a good supply of rodents to throw. For ethical purposes, please make sure that they are dead. If mouth to rat CPR doesn’t work, it’s probably safe to assume that they’re dead.
Lick random objects. From cars to buildings to street signs, there’s plenty to lick in the city. It’s a great way to build up your immune system as well. Just don’t lick any people without their consent. Asking “can I lick you?” Is a wonderful way to get consent.
Ask random people nonsensical questions. For example “isn’t the weather feeling especially crunchy today?” Or “How many days do you think it would take to drive to Antarctica?” If you’d like, make odd statements as well such as “aliens are real and I have a probe in my butthole to prove it. Wanna see?”
Give yourself a piercing with a random safety pin you found on the ground. You know you’ve always wanted to save money on professional piercings. Fate has brought you this safety pin as a sign. It’s time to grow a pair and do it yourself.
Find and eat cigarette butts. Gotta get your fix somehow, am I right?
Leave controversial notes on random cars. It can be as simple as “Get tested. I might’ve given you herpes” or as extravagant as “I can’t believe that you would go as far as to defend the nazis when your own grandmother is Jewish.” At the very least, it will confuse the reader.
Fart in as many elevators as you can. This is a great option if you want to watch the world burn but don’t want too many consequences.
Stand in the street and wait to get hit by a car. There’s so much traffic, surely one of them will hit you. If you survive, you’ll be able to brag about it once you’re out of the hospital.
