For this addition of Frugal Date Friday, you can bring out your inner historian. Head to a local museum or historic home and take a tour!
To make it even more frugal, look into discounts for your destination of choice. Many museums and historic sites will offer discounted admission certain days of the week.
This is a great way to be involved in the community and learn together! If you live near Columbia, SC this is a fun option!
If you are going to take the kids along, many sites offer free admission for children under 5 and discounts for older children.
After your tour, you can head to a local ice cream or coffee shop to talk about all the great things you learned and share stories from your past.
What is your favorite frugal date?

One of my favorite fashion sites, Cents of Style lives by two mottos: One, you do not have to spend a ton to look great, and two, when you look good, you feel good.
They bring us the latest fashionable accessories, shoes, scarves and jewelry at rock bottom prices so we can afford the trendy styles. Buying new accessories is so much cheaper than buying a whole new wardrobe. Focusing on fun accessory pieces is an easy way to freshen up the wardrobe you already have and keep it affordable too. Try adding scarves, statement necklaces, or layering pendant necklaces with your outfits this back to school season
Some back to school trends to keep an eye out for:
–Moccasins
-Printed Backpacks
-Stylish Sneakers
–Statement Earrings
Not only do they offer low prices, but Cents of Style offers FREE Shipping to help you save even more on your purchases. I hate it when I find a great deal, only to realize that I can’t afford it simply because of the shipping costs. You never have to worry about that with Cents of Style.
Even if you don’t win this time…

Kitchen gadgets serving only one purpose should generally be avoided, however, a food processor is versatile enough to save time and space in the kitchen.
Amazon has the Cuisinart Prep Plus Food Processor, 9 Cup for $99.99 (reg $270.99) with Free Prime or Super Saver Shipping! Cuisinart is a well respected brand and people seem to enjoy this particular food processor.
What can you do with a Food Processor? More like what can you NOT do with a food processor? Try making baby food, bread crumbs, pesto, soups, puree, mixing doughs/batters, and more.
We love to take basil from our garden and make pesto from it. We freeze it in ice cube trays so we have the perfect amount when we need it!
