Free Entertainment Tips-Part I

1. Check out books, DVDs and CDs at the library. They’re free and nothing beats freebies. 
 
2. Check out free museums. Museums offer a pleasant entertainment and they’re free.
 
3. Trade games, books, DVD’s and CD’s with your friends or online.  Consider buying used  when possible, and sell them on eBay after you’re done with them.
 
4. Catch a matinee movie. Usually before 5pm. Buy matinee tickets and save up to 40% off the regular ticket prices. If you’re going to the movies at night, buy movie tickets at Costco or at your company. You pay promo / discounted rates and it’s cheaper than buying at the gate.
 
5. See a free screening movie. Your local theaters may show free screening of soon-to-be-released-in-the-theater movies. Try Paramount Movies screenings
 
6. Volunteer to help out at the event or concert. Most events need volunteers. Offer to help out and catch a portion of the event for free.
 
7. Have a movie night. Get together with your friends for a movie night and discuss about it after screening.
 
8. Use rechargeable batteries for your remote control. Three billion batteries go to waste each year, all containing harmful metals which can contaminate the environment. Use rechargeable batteries and help save the earth, while saving your money.
 
9. Play board games. Play Monopoly, Scrabble, Risk, etc. with your friends.
 
10. Play video games. Web sites like Miniclip and FreeArcade.com offer free online and arcade games. And Gamefly for cheap video game rentals.
