Spring is here, flowers, blue sky and green grass!!!  But life is busy and before you know it, it can be over.   Take some time and enjoy all the wonderful things spring brings.  Popsugar created a list of 25 ways to frugally enjoy Spring!!!

This list is great!  The ideas are simple and totally doable.

25 Frugal Ways to Enjoy Spring

• • Plan a vacation. If the Winter doldrums didn’t inspire any vacation plans, then start planning for a trip this year now. Studies have shown that planning a vacation can bring a lot of joy to the traveler.  (Totally agree,  I get just as excited about planning a trip as on going on it!!!)
  • Clean your home so you’ll feel better and less stressed in the place you live. (cleaned my closet)
  • Tend your garden or start one. It’s time to celebrate all things green this season! (Only if you have a green thumb, which I don’t)
  • Bring flowers into your home cut fresh from the farmers market.
  • Visit a national park nearby to admire nature at its finest.
  • Run outside to enjoy the fresh air.
  • Shop for your wardrobe, and experiment with clothes you don’t usually wear.
  • Try to support your local farmers by purchasing more locally grown food.
  • Go camping for an amazing outdoor experience.
  • Fly a kite in a park or an open space.
  • Picnic on the weekends.
  • Borrow a book on nature from the library, and learn more about a specific topic, like birds or plants.
  • Redecorate your work desk in Spring colors.
  • Try to add some color to your home by putting up a new decal or getting a colorful throw for your sofa.
  • Visit the zoo, the pound, or a pet owner’s home to interact with animals.
  • Read books outdoors. (I find laying out in the sun and reading a book is almost like being on vacation)
  • Make cocktails, and enjoy them on the patio.
  • Organize a barbecue.
