Find a Great Deal!

            The “discount-deal” e-mail sites that have become so popular as of late are a great way to find out about new things to do and places to go in your area. Trying something new is a sure way to create relationships and memories. And what better way to do that than at a discounted rate? The sites do include restaurant offers, but munching on a foreign delicacy is not necessarily the only way to be adventurous. Some other offers include horseback riding, wine tastings, dinner cruises, dance classes, art showings, and on and on. The options are endless! You could easily fill up your 52 Weekends on one e-mail alone.

            However, if you are looking not to spend any money (not a bad goal!), you can still make these sites work for you. Use them to give you ideas of things to do. For instance, if you do not want to pay $45 for a salsa-dance lesson for two, that’s okay. Call up your friends, crank up your stereo, and have a backyard dance party. There are sure to be several attendees willing to teach the other guests all their best moves. You don’t have to spend money to have a good time. What you do need to do, though, is get moving. Make your own fun. If you have the money to spend, go for it. If not, even better. Creativity is limitless. Whether it’s horseback riding or hobby-horse racing, visiting an art gallery or making a sidewalk chalk mural with the neighborhood kids, it’s the fun you have and the memories you create that make it worth it.
