We always have great fun on weekend and just realized one amazing thing.. ”Wow, we have not spent any for the past one month on weekends !“ It was not planned at all, it just happened like this.
In this modern life, we are programmed to spend money and we all buy things from time to time that we don't really need. How much do you spend on average weekends ?
If you think it is impossible to have a great weekend without spending money - here are some tips of what you can try on weekend without spending.
These are what we do on weekend:
1. Go for a nice day walk
it doesn't have to be hiking or long walk. you can go for a nice walk and needless to say, it healthy and good for you. I normally take some homemade cookies, bio apples, bananas for the walk.
2. Go Swimming with your family, friends and partner ( If summer season)
Find your nearest beach, lakes, rivers for swimming!
3. Take your lunch box with you and go cycling
Biking is not only fun, it will also increase your strength, balance, flexibility and built stamina. we did a 46 km bike ride last weekend and it was wonderful! I also like to play badminton outside on weekends.
4. If you are into nature.. you can go further such as rock climbing, hiking, trekking and so on
For rock climbing, you need someone who have very good experience climbing or you should have proper instructor.
5. Plant herbs in pots or work in your garden
This will be great activity, you can plant your own herbs in pots such as mint, oregano, rosemary, thyme and sage and many more. You can use the herbs for cooking, to make a herbal tea and make your own shampoo and conditioner if you like D.I.Y life style. It is so easy to plant herbs and it will normally grow very fast!
6. Do yoga , meditation and pirates
You can spread your own yoga mat at home and enjoy yoga or anywhere available!
If raining... or and you are home
7. Learn something new during weekend
You would like to study something new, but you do not know what you want to study..
Here is the amazing solution. EdX offers free online courses and classes from the world's best universities including MIT, Harvard, Berkeley, UT and others.
8.Open your cooking books and experiment with recipes you've never tried before!
Bake cookies and cookies for your friends and family, they will appreciate your home made baking than just buying them.
9. Enjoy D.I.Y at home
This topic is unlimited. You can create so many things on your own. You do not need to be professional - You can create your own stuff with your partner, family and friends or you can also fix some your stuff.
There is always something need to be fixed at home anyway( ;
10. Visit your local library
Library is not only a place where you can read and rent books , most libraries also have extensive DVD collections that you can check out. Most Libraries has a number of different types of books and you will definitely find at least one book or DVD you like. Personally I always prefer reading paper books than using kindle.
Have a lovely weekend!
