Nearly Free Things to do with a Friend

I've always wanted to compile a list of free (or nearly-free) fun things to do with a friend. So here they are, compiled from some of my closest friends. Feel free to add to the list! I look forward to hearing ideas from you!

  • Sample farm-fresh produce at the farmers market
  • Dust off a pack of cards, or an old board game
  • Take a map of your city, close your eyes, and point to a place to explore
  • Pick out a book and alternate reading chapters to each other
  • Attend a free event at the local museum
  • Browse the annual street or crafts fair
  • Go for a bikeride, jog, or long walk
  • Find out the exact time of sunset and hike to the highest point to watch it set
  • Make a game out of people watching
  • Make a meal - look online for creative recipes using only the ingredients you have
  • Find the nearest trailhead and explore
  • Pretend you're 6 again and build blanket forts in the livingroom
  • Pack a picnic and head to the nearest park or beach
  • Livingroom picnics are fun too!
  • Rent a tandem bike for twice the fun
  • Buy a map of historical sites or celebrity homes and take yourself on a tour
  • Rent a foreign film and make a recipe from the country
  • Head to Target or Walmart and see what you can buy each other for only $5
  • Hunt for the local thrift stores and do some bargain shopping
