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
