Moneys tight in the pandemic? Top 5 ways to have fun while saving money!

    Ever since the start of the pandemic in early spring 2020, money has been tight for all families across the U.S. In today's blog update we are gonna talk about 5 ways to have fun on a budget!

#1 Water gun fights!

    Water gun fights are a very cheap and fun way to have fun with the family. Prices can range from $5 to $20 for one, and only need water to use! All you need for this activity is a few water guns, water, and some open space. So get going outside and start getting wet!

#2 Movie Marathon!

    Being in quarantine means that we aren't allowed to go outside and gather as much as we'd like to. To make the best of a bad situation, why not have a movie marathon? Gather a few family or friends and watch a trilogy. Nowadays you can just stream a movie on your T.V. so for a few bucks you can have hours of entertainment. All you need is a few people, a T.V. and a few dollars.

#3 Arts and Crafts!

    Do you ever wonder how many things in your home you don't use? There are so many things in your house that are gathering dust in a corner, why not put it to good use and make some arts and crafts! This activity is a little more open ended and requires a bit more creativity, but in the end it can be countless hours of fun! Some examples of arts and crafts you can start out with are, origami, papier-mâché decorations, or a dream catcher. Ideas are infinite here if you just put your mind to it, have fun!

#4 Sidewalk Chalk!

    Maybe you have the creativity, but no supplies to see your ideas through. Sidewalk chalk can be a great and inexpensive way to show of your creativity to all your family without the need for many supplies. Sidewalk chalk can run you a maximum of $10 at any Walmart or Target. All you need is some imagination, sidewalk chalk, and some open pavement.

#5 Video game tournament!

    Does someone in your house claim to be the best driver or smarter then everyone else? Put them to test in a video game tournament. If you don't have a game console or computer to use, you can even use your phone. Challenge some of your friends or family in games like Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros., or even virtual Chess! This can be hours of fun, but be careful, it can get addicting.

    We at NARF hope you all stay safe during this rough time, and support one another so that we all can get through this with as little suffering as possible.
