Weekend Update

Well I am really starting to get a hang of not using my credit cards. They have been in my filing cabinet all weekend, except for a little field trip this afternoon I have done a great job.

Here are some tips I have for not spending money on the weekends:
- have someone else treat!
- drink your alcohol at home by buying wine at Trader Joe's (Two-Buck Chuck for $2.99!!!) or by the case so you don't spend as much. Think about it, for one glass at a restaurant you can sometimes buy a whole bottle of something!
- go to restaurants that have a BYOB policy to save lots of money! Check out this BYOB Dining Guide.
- hang out at home and play board games, invite some friends over for a make-shift dance party or board game night with popcorn (Popcorn recipes)!
- split a meal with a friend (this will help your diet too!)

Do you have any other tips for saving money on the weekends? Please post them here so they can be useful to someone else!
