Thanks to Becca who sent me this money saving tip—and it’s such a great idea!  Becca says she saves money by volunteering, saying “It’s a great way to meet new people, get some exercise, and involve yourself in something uplifting.”

It’s also an activity that keeps you busy, comes without a cost to you and can provide a lot of entertainment. She says that way she’s not out spending money trying to entertain herself.  And I’ll throw in too that sometimes volunteering is a great way to participate in an event that maybe you don’t have the funds for.  Like a local beer or music festival is a good example, often times if you volunteer, you can get in for free!
