I have been saving every penny I make lately because I know the economy is not booming quite yet. That being said, not spending money equals to not heading out for entertainment anymore. These days my television is my theatre and my kitchen is used more often to make take-out rather than spending money on eating out. At the same time, though, it is nice to get out and enjoy the weather. Staying in one’s house for too long can make even the most stable person go crazy (ha ha ha)! I had made up my mind and I made a picnic lunch for my husband and I before we headed on down to the Comox Harbour.
The Comox Harbour was a nice place to set up for a picnic and short walk because there some covered areas along the dock to sit and just enjoy the view of the ocean. I like to come down to the Harbour to appreciate the simple things in life and to remember what the Earth has given us for free. We actually did not pack a large lunch either just a few small items:
Picnic Basket
Greek Chicken Pita Pockets Homemade Brownies
Two Apples
Diet Pepsi
I was very happy to be out rain or shine. Although it was cold and slightly raining, it helped that we had coverage for our picnic. Our picnic was an adventure and was not expensive at all – especially if you make your own stuff at home. When you go to the grocery store to get the items you need, it can get really expensive. I like to utilize any leftovers or ingredients I have in my cupboards to make it as inexpensive as possible. I thought about this after the fact, but I should have made homemade cocoa and filled a thermos – that would have kept us warm for sure.
You don’t need to spend a lot of money to have a great time. You can make it a weekly adventure to get out and Explore different parts within your community.
