Living Large In The Cheap Seats- FREE Museum Day

 


Benjamin Franklin started from humble beginnings and worked his way up to being a very prosperous man.   He knew that everyone’s resources and strengths are different.   However, we all can use our resources and talents to our best advantage.    No one can tell you what this will look like or what you are personally willing to do or give up to achieve your goal.   


The only thing we can do is share our experiences, ideas, and solutions.    If you are interested in getting just 1% better at a time, then this post is for you.    We share at least 1 thing that has improved our living within our means and possibly put a little money aside for a rainy day.   This is how we will Live Large In The Cheat Seats.


One way to refine our cultural outlook on life is to visit museums.   However, museums sometimes can run up a bill just to enter.   However, Smithsonian Magazine is sponsoring another FREE Museum Day, on September 17, 2022.


Museum Day is a one-day event in which participating museums and cultural institutions across the country provide FREE entry to anyone presenting a Museum Day ticket. Participants are allowed to download one ticket per email address. The ticket provides free general admission on Saturday, September 17, 2022, for two people.     


The link to sign-up for free tickets is attached to the picture below.



Enjoy your experience and leave a comment below about how you enjoyed your outing.

2025 Updated Breakfast Under $1.00

On the USDA Website, their thrifty grocery budgets range from  $25.70 to $72.80 per week ($3.67 - $10.40 per day) per person.   The two factors that determine the amount allocated are age and sex.  With such a small amount of money allocated daily for food and my attempt to eat healthily, I need to plan each week carefully.     With the Bird Flu hitting America hard recently, the egg is no longer a humble star but is turning into a luxury.     A dozen eggs cost $5.49 or $0.46 each.  At this price, I am looking at other options for breakfast.   Breakfast is a great place to add value to your meal planning.    It can be the cheapest or most expensive meal.  The choice is up to you.    NOTE: Prices are for the Northeast area for March 1,  2025 Let’s look at breakfasts that come in at or under $1.00.     Beagle and Cream Cheese ($0.69 per serving) Kroger Prices Bagels (6ct)- $2...

The Frugal Five: #88

  The Frugal Five: #88 With inflation on the rise and salaries not increasing, our ability to make ends meet keeps going down.    Therefore, we must be more careful with our money.   The Frugal Five is a series where we celebrate the daily or weekly activities that help us live a frugal life.     This week I am exploring how to keep costs down during busy weeks.    Keeping dinner on the table instead of eating out is one of my strategies to get the job done.    Here are some of my tips and trips.    1- Free-Bee Pick Up  Over the last month, we have been blessed with several Free-Bees.  First, a friend gave us a dozen eggs from his chickens.  In addition, we picked up several photos with discount codes from Walgreens and CVS.   Next, we used our local grocery store coupons for several free food items such as seltzer water, ice cream, etc.   Then, we picked up toothpaste and eyeliners from ...
