Beat Boredom Without Breaking the Bank



Did you know that some places of business offer free family friendly events for your family to enjoy?
Home Depot, Lowe’s, Michael’s, the LEGO store, and more stores offer free kids events each month. Bank of America card holders can enjoy free museum membership once a month. Don’t forget to check your local library for free events, movie and magazine rentals as well. And when you are eating out, you can find a restaurant near you that offers free kids’ meals by visiting KidsMealDeals.com.
Also, the social discount site Groupon is popular with frugal families who want to find a way to fit fun outings into their budget. This site partners with local retailers to offer fantastic  bargains on dining, shopping and entertainment. After your free registration, you'll receive a daily e-mail highlighting a new deal available in your city. One   day you might find half-price Tae Kwon Do classes, while the next day could bring free appetizers or discounts at popular restaurants. (On www.groupon.com our daughter-in-law, Carrie, got 30 one hour Yoga lessons for $20!) With Groupon, you pay up front and use a voucher to redeem your deal.  (Adopted From www.tlc.howstuffworks.com )
