(ThePennyWatcher.com) – New Years eve celebrations are always expensive, and it’s worth considering what are some ways to enjoy your time while not killing your wallet for just one night.
If your staying at home, consider these options:
- Potluck Party: Invite friends over, and tell everyone to bring something to eat. Easy.
- Game Night Extravaganza: Have a game night if your into that.
- Home Spa Night: This may apply more so to the ladies. Face masks, wine, and cheese to ring in the new year.
Out and About (Budget-Friendly options):
- Free Community Events: Many towns have pre-setup celebrations that provide fun family entertainment, and for adults as well.
- Bonfire Gathering: For all those country folks out there. Get a group together and fire up that pit with some fire, fun, food, and libations!
- Volunteer for a Cause: Spend your New Year’s Eve giving back to the community. There are always some local options, so check in with your non profits and organizations.
Don’t get caught up in spending, focus on the fun and shared experiences with your loved ones. Time goes too fast, and we should all have one resolution that we agree upon. Cherish these memories and times.
