When it comes to finding entertainment, it’s tempting to spend a ton of money. After all, new video games are quite expensive, board games cost a ton of money, and there are always new movies coming out you want to keep up with. However, one of the quickest ways to save some serious money is by cutting back on your entertainment budget.
This doesn’t mean you can’t have any fun, though! You just need to know how to keep yourself entertained without spending a dime. Don’t think it can be done? Trust us, it can.
Your first resource for free ways to stay entertained should be to hit up your local library. While that might sound tragically uncool, it’s actually a fantastic way to check out books and movies. Since you pay taxes, accessing these resources is free. Libraries are easily one of the best public resources available in the US!
They have tons of books, all of which are bursting with knowledge and fun. You could literally spend your lifetime just reading excellent books from the local library and never run out of great content to enjoy. Beyond just books, your library likely also has DVDs and Blu Rays of popular films and TV shows available to check out. What’s not to love about that?
If that’s not enough awesome viewing content for you, no sweat. Another option for frugal entertainment-seekers is Pluto TV. This free TV app aggregates online content that is available free of charge and organizes it into channels. Boom, instant, free TV shows at your fingertips. Many films are also streamed for free through Pluto.
And, coming in at the low, low price of free makes this app’s use of commercials understandable. At least, it’s a better deal than cable, where you pay to access content that still includes commercials. Seriously, what gives with cable?
As for video game fans, there are few legitimate ways to access free games. However, one such way exists for PC gamers, and it’s excellent: Epic Games Store’s free game giveaways. The Epic Games Store constantly just gives away awesome games from recent years.
While you don’t have a wide selection of which games you get, beggars can’t be choosers. And, hey, these are free! You literally can’t beat that price. So, when you’re hankering for a new game to play but can’t afford to spend $60, just pick up whatever is on offer for free through EGS.
