We do -- and we're lucky enough to have friends and family with tickets to spare! But we also enjoy hitting up college sporting events... Other than football, the tickets are really reasonably priced -- anywhere from $5 to $15 for baseball, volleyball, etc.
Very rarely do we go to sporting events. My son and I went to a Nascar race last year, but the tickets were under $25 a person, so we figured the experience was worth that much. We haven't been to any major sporting events besides this, but one of our "to-do" things with our children is to someday see a Bears game at Soldier Field. That will be worth it! But it is definitely a "we have to save a bunch so we can do this" kind of outing. It's a 6 hour drive to Chicago, not something you can do in one day.
I'll very rarely attend sporting events, and when I do, it's either because a group from work or group of friends has planned an outing or because someone has given us free tickets. On just a very few occasions we've bought tickets ourselves, but we always bring our own sandwiches and sit in the cheap seats.
I enjoy watching and attending Cincinnati Reds games but live on disability so have to watch my budget. Select games are 50% off for seniors over 60. I found some other aficionados from church so we carpooled and shared expenses. I abstained from buying any $8 beer and bought myself a 6 pack of imported beer when I got home; for $8. We had great fun and got to know each other
We do not go to any games or events for sports. Not big fans of most sports, but even so, if we were, the cost to attend a game is costly for a family of four and it just would not fit into our budget. For the Super Bowl we go to a friend's house and bring a dish for potluck. We like to watch that game with the group, but we go mostly for the social interaction with everyone there.
Yes, we take our family to an NHL game once a season. We love the atmosphere and the excitement of a live game supporting our home team. We can afford this by watching for the family 4-pack specials that are offered for some games. For $99, you get 4 tickets, 4 hotdogs and 4 drinks. The seats are up high but with the the jumbo trons you can see everything.
Run it through and see if you can light it on fire. Are you using tap water? If you use distilled water to ferment, you will not have enough nutrients for the yeast. Try to boil the water first, then bring to room temp. We want to kill anything not yeast. You could have some infection in your batch. You should be able to smell the yeast, like when you make bread. Does it take a few days to ferment? If it happens all in one day, it could be stressing the yeast. If it takes weeks, it could be leaving room for an infection to grow.
Ahh, although these are all great ideas I cant help thinking how little $50 is these days! Thanks for reminding me of the phrase 'save it for a rainy day' I haven't heard that one for ages!
I used to spend quite a bit of money on crafts. I'm now trying to use my stash. When I truly need something, I try and wait for a sale or one of the store's 40% off coupons.
Oh man, these hobbies sound like a lot of work. Anyway, I'm working on my photography skill. Some classes would really help, but for now I'm just taking a lot of pictures.
I would say, you have the most comprehensive list of deal and coupon sites. But most of these sites are not updating coupons on regular basis and since now they are on the top of the Google search they just don't care.
I did this for six months -- no clothes, no haircuts, nothing, except paying off debts. It was kind of awesome, and austerity led me to more austerity. Now that the credit card debt is gone, I'm not doing the extreme measures anymore. But I still haven't paid retail for clothes, and the credit cards have been paid off since February!

I use craigslist to buy some tickets. Ticket packages are also a good way of getting tickets for the family.
No, I don't go to sporting events.

Country Bob,
Run it through and see if you can light it on fire. Are you using tap water? If you use distilled water to ferment, you will not have enough nutrients for the yeast.

You are welcome!
I'm surprised webdesign didn't make the list! I started it out just for fun as a hobby and was able to turn it into a money-making gig on the side!

Love that idea! Being athletic is definitely at gift that can turn into some extra cash down the road. Thanks for sharing!
