Let’s face it, a staycation is about saving money and enjoying the sites and sounds around your home. And what is a good way to save some money? Don’t spend ANY! TheSimpleDollar blog posted a recent article about 100 things to do during a money free weekend. They have some great ideas that could be used on a staycation! Here are just a few of their great money free ideas:

1. Visit your community library
2. Play board games
3. Take digital photographs and share them (on flickr)
4. Make a how-to video for YouTube
5. Practice Origami
6. Have a film festival - watch your favorite movies with your friends
7. Read a book - either one lying around that you haven’t read in a while or one loaned by a friend
8. Have a yard sale
9. Do some sudoku or crossword puzzles
10. Volunteer

That’s just 10 selected from a list of well over 100! I’d encourage you to pick a couple of ideas and make a goal not to spend ANY money. Let me know how it goes.
