In these hard times it's important to have a tight budget. But you still wanna have fun without spending a thousand dollars or more. So I will be writing this in my perspective hopefully you will find this inspiring.

Being straight forward I am a workaholic, I know it's okay I have a problem. Admitting it is the next step, but how do I step away from my laptop for the weekend? How can I step away? When I have a tight budget what to do? I mean I still wanna have fun. Here is how I save money and serviced on these hard times. Or how I would.

As a woman I have two addictions shoes, and purses. As a kid I believe I had eight pairs of shoes, and two pairs of boots.

But how did I budget out while living modestly? Do I still have fun? Or have I became the hermit of my neigbourhood. I can honestly say no. And this is how.

A Few Money Savers But Still have fun:

1: Budget Friendly Movie Theaters: In my hometown there is a family owned theater that would charge five bucks for an early movie before five o' clock at night. So, I have five bucks for one ticket, and five bucks for an affordable snack.

2: Budget Friendly Shopping Sprees: As a woman we love shopping but we can't afford the mall. So TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Target, or even Walmart is a good way to save money. If you have a shoe craving looking for a save way to save money, or get a patch for that craving.

Disclaimer: I just found out that Payless is back in the state I grew up in so I will be making a special trip to Fairfield Commons soon.

3: I think this is a hard word to for anyone but Invest: Now before we panic at that word. Please continue reading. It's important to start researching different companies even bitcoin. I make a major suggestion research before you invest. I would suggest also an infraction of investing. You can invest up to 10.00 USD or depending what currency you use.

4: Clearance Sales and Overstock Sales: As a shopper and living in America Ohio is one of the most expensive places to live I think. With inflations increasing politicians not helping it's important to remember two things overstock sales, and clearance sales.

For example, it's Winter going into spring warmer weather yet you want to have enough clothes for next winter. Clearance sales at Walmart, and Target are your best bet.

Another example, overstock sales there is an overstock say at Staples, or a furniture store that's the best time to buy low price desk, or other things.

5: The Park: To save money there are picnics in the park, or hiking. I am a hopeless romantic so going to the park is a fun thing for me.

6: Driving to Amish Country: I know this is one of my favorite things to do. Driving to Amish Country to the Apple Orchard, cheese factory, or the bulk food store.

There are a handful of ways to save money. I will be having a blog series of how I have saved money.

I will go into complete detail with my next blog entry on saving money when grocery shopping.

I thank you for taking the time to read, please heart, leave a comment, and leave a tip as we all are struggling every little bit counts. With your help and support we wouldn't have made it this far. -E.S
