Well, I thought I’d start my first “Thrifty Thursday” post off with a bang. All the freebies I could find around the Denver-metro area for 2009. These are great for dates, when guests come into town, a way to get out of the house, or just for the heck of it. Also, if you really hate crowds, it’s good to know when these days are, so you can avoid them. 😉

Do it! I’ve been a little paranoid about doubling up on something doing the same day as Genny, so I’ve been debating over making mine “Frugal Fridays” 🙂 We could get a whole week going here soon!
