There are a lot of bad things said about watching TV and playing video games at home. On the bright side, this can be very cheap entertainment and a way to spend time with your family that doesn’t cost much.
You can rent a DVD for a couple bucks, make your own popcorn, save about $30 compared with going out to the movies. Another idea is to find a good TV series on Netflix and watch it together as a family. One summer we watched an episode of Monk every night on Netflix.
It can be difficult to find video games that everyone in the family likes to play together. Most people can enjoy Wii games or old Atari classics. We have a joystick that plugs into the TV and plays some old Atari games. The games are simple and do not take a long time to play. With Wii Sports, you can bowl at home without going out.
See what ideas you can come up with to have fun at home with your family without spending a lot of money going out.
