Finding Christmas ActivitiesEvery year, just after Thanksgiving, the zoo is open after hours for their Zoolights exhibit. Much of the zoo is decorated in beautiful lights. And at certain times, you can see Santa dive with the sharks. We go to this event every year.
Science Museum Memberships are Worth itWhen we signed up for a family membership at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, it seemed like a lot of money, about $120 for free admission and some other perks. Looking back over the last 12 months, we have really gotten our money's worth from it.
Save Money on Books, CDs, and DVDsUnless you HAVE to have everything new and must see the latest and greatest, you can go to Amazon.com and purchase a used movie, CD, or book and enjoy it for much less than buying new or paying admission charges.
Write Articles for Press InvitationsIf you want to get invited to local artistic events, consider writing a column on that sort of thing for your local newspaper. As a member of the press, you will get lots of free invites!
Easy Tip CalculationsHere's a trick for computing a 15% tip in your head. Start by calculating 10% of the bill and then add half. For example, if the bill is $24 dollars, a 15% tip would be $2.40 (10%) plus $1.20 (half of 15%), for a total of $3.60.
Discount Sites for TicketsDiscount Sites for Tickets. Just got 2 tickets to a rock concert (with a famous old timer) for $10 a piece from a discount site and ALSO found out about FREE museum admission this Weekend!
Ski Mask For Winter CyclingCold weather cycling can be made much more comfortable by a trip to your local ski shop. Ski gear is designed for breaking the cold wind you're likely to face when winter cycling. A knit ski mask with a vapor-permeable membrane will protect your face from icy winds.
