How to Have a Girls' Night out on the Cheap ...

There are probably times when you don’t have the money for a huge shopping spree but you still want to shop. This is when you shop for accessories. There are tons of stores where you can find accessories for less than $10. A personal favorite of mine is Charming Charlie. This is one of the best girls' night out ideas because you get to shop but you don’t have to spend a fortune.

You want to hang out with your friends but you can’t get past the fact that you are really broke. What to do? Hit Starbucks! For around five dollars you can sip and chat for hours. You get your girls' night fix and go home without racking up any credit card debt. It’s a win-win solution.

Maybe there is a movie you and your friends are dying to see but you don’t want to cough up the cash for a show. Why not go for a matinee? Matinees are usually quite a bit cheaper. You will probably shave about a third of the price off of the ticket by going in the daytime. It isn’t exactly a girls’ night out but it is a girls’ day out, which is still fun.

Can’t afford to meet for dinner? How about going out just for dessert? You can eat your dinner at home and then meet your friends and enjoy a wonderful dessert. Desserts are generally about half the price of a meal entrée. You can sit and chat while you enjoy some scrumptious treats.

If you are absolutely strapped for cash and can’t afford so much as a few dollars to go out, you can still take this option. You can go jogging together or even walking. You get your girl time in while doing something good for your body. It’s really a great way to get two things done at one time, get some time in with friends and a workout. You may even decide to make this a regular thing.

This isn’t always the most fun activity of all but it can be fun. Maybe you can look at things and plan what to purchase with your next paycheck. You can see what the coming trends are for the next season. And most of all, you do get your girl time in. You can have a ton of laughs being silly together while you window shop.

This is another completely free way to enjoy girls’ night out activities. Many upscale department stores will offer you a makeover completely for free. You can each enjoy one and maybe learn some new makeup tricks that you love. If you don’t love your makeover, you can wash it off. Either way, it was a way to have fun together on the cheap.

Now it’s your turn. What do you do when you need a girls’ night out and funds are low? Share your ideas with others!
