Cheap things to do in a bad economy

Growing up poor has come to a full advantage for me in these times.  Having kids to deal with and not having a bunch of money to entertain them hasn't been much of an issue.

1.  Take them to the library.  Just because your poor doesn't mean your not educated.
2.  Washing cars in the front yard is always a good time.  Don't let the little ones hold the hose to long though. 
3.   Going out for cheap ice cream isn't too hard.  The fast food chains have a cone for 79 cents verses the big dogs for 2.59.
4.  The mall is always fun to walk and start your Christmas list.
5.  Plant seeds and watch them grow.
6.  Look in the paper for an early show or find a dollar theater near by.  It's ok to bring your own secret snacks..in your big bag.
7.   Lunch in the park and bring your own stuff.  Make sure you don't forget to feed the squirels.
8.   Do crafts with your recycling pile.  Milk cartons, card board, etc. make great supplies.
9.   Play a board game.
10. Get out blankets and pillows and pick out a DVD out of the pile.  Make a frozen pizza.
