Cheap Living!

Listen up, my Let's Be Vain-ers.  It's time to start enjoying life, while spending very little.  Which is my life long mission.  It's cheap Monday!!!  Where I share with you some ways to enjoy life on the cheap.

Yesterday was by far one of my most full fun days and it was all done on less than it should've been.

It started off with the 11:15 moring showing of 'Kick Ass' at the AMC Kennedy.  Early showings are only $6.  Wake up early and indulge in a movie that's 50% the discount of a regular movie.

From there, it was off to the beach for some free fun.  For those who drive, there's the option of paying for parking or you can do it my way.  Park on Leslie at the Loblaws or Wendy's or Shopper's and then enjoy a walk/blade/bike down to Ashbridges Bay.  Bring along your sunscreen, ipod, and book and there's free fun to be had.

After a few hours of beach-in-it-up, my lad and I decided to go the active route of rock climbing at Toronto Climbing Academy.  Recently, we scored a sweet HUGELY discounted deal at Groupon.  For $49, we received a free introductory course, one month membership and free equipment rental each time.  Two hours of working many muscle groups and sweating ourselves silly, we were done with being active and ready to eat.

Utilizing another Groupon massive discount, we showered at home and then headed over to Local 4.  Neither of us had ever heard of or been to this pub before, but with a $40 coupon after spending only $16, we were prepared to eat.  Drinks, appetizers, catfish for me, pulled pork for him and our bill came to less than $60.  Minus the $40 discount, and we paid around $36 for the whole meal.

Arrived home close to 10, watched an old dvd series (more free fun), and passed out knowing that it had been one full, yet cheap day o' fun.

What's your cheap way to enjoy yourself these days?
