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.

  NOTE-  1- Click on the picture and get a link to a post sharing the recipe.  2- Although all prices were correct at the time of the blog postings, the current cost of preparation of these dishes may be higher due to inflation and/or location.      March USDA Thrifty Food Plan ccording to this plan our family would have a budget of $186.20 per week.  Given our health concerns, we struggle to maintain this budget, but I am going to try to make this happen.    Cost Saving Tip of the Week: Check your sale flyers for loss leaders.   Each week grocery stores advertise specific products at a great price to get you in the store.   Recently, I have noticed a very specific time frame for getting these deals.   Good luck and happy hunting.   Here is what we did this week to make our week easier:   Refrigerator Clean Out Pre-cut all vegetables for the week Pulled older items to the front for easier consumption C...

Menu Planning: #250

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...
