Labor Day Spending Sprees and Free Family Fun
September 2nd, 2008 by Katie McCaskey

Singer Rihanna spent Labor Day spending her earnings at Gucci. How did the rest of us mark the working person’s holiday?

Amber runs Geezeo’s “Money Challenge” group. She challenged the community to spend as little as possible this weekend and focus on “free fun”.

I managed to still spend quite a bit on meals out and a movie, but, here’s my list of free weekend activities. What did you do for free this weekend?

Here’s a list of free activities for the family, at Labor Day or any other time:

  • Go on a nature hike
  • Go to a local park
  • Go on a bike ride
  • Plan a picnic
  • Play fun and simple games like tag, hide-and-seek, or other game
  • Visit the local library
  • Pick or plant flowers, trees, or garden vegetables
  • Volunteer at a worthy organization

    • Amber’s group posts a lot of fun financial challenges to keep you more mindful of your spending habits.

    So, how did the rest of you spend your holiday weekend? What do you do for fun with your family that costs very little? Comment here or in the Money Challenge group.
