[QUOTE="SRL, post: 49341, member: 701"] I was just about to start a cheap or free summer fun thread at Watercooler, thinking along the same lines, so thanks for doing this. Here in Illiniois we are not only getting nailed with the gas costs but electricity deregulation resulted in our electric rates doubling a few months ago and there's talk it still may go higher. My younger two have been building forts with chairs and blankets and sleeping there during the weekends. difficult child likes it as a dark getaway to play Gameboy as well. My daughter got a bunny for a 4-H project a few weeks ago. We got the cage for free and built the hutch from scrap wood. A bag of free lasts a year and they are cheap to upkeep as far as pets go. I'm expecting once summer rolls around and we build some kind of enclosure on the grass the two of them will be spending a lot of time hanging out. We don't have cable TV and my great source for VHS and DVD's has been a pawn shop in town. VHS tapes are 50 cents - $1 and DVD's range from $3-5. I take back anything we don't want to keep for credit--we've enjoyed a lot of cheap entertainment from this source this past year. [/QUOTE]
