How Cheap & Free in Charlotte got started...
So, like many people right now, I have been trying to find ways to cut down on my expenses. One easy way to cut down is to limit what I like to call the "entertainment budget."
Easier said than done because I'm not one who is really happy sitting at home and doing "nothing." I love watching TV as much as the next person (probably more) but I start to go a little stir-crazy. I'm definitely a person who likes to be on the go and living life to the fullest (and having as much fun as possible).
I started thinking to myself, I live in this great city, what opportunities are out there that I am not taking to have fun for free or at least for very little cost? So, I came up with the idea to challenge myself for 1 month to see how much fun I could have and how many different things I could experience for how little money. I've been doing a lot of research, mostly on the Internet and in free newspapers, and, let me tell you, there are a lot of great things to do here in Charlotte for little or no money.
