This week is going to be – Labor Day Fun tips! We want to hear any tip that you have on how you celebrate the weekend, i.e. BBQ’s, hikes, camping, local festivities, etc. It does not need to be a thrifty tip – but if you have one to share, please include it as you know we love those thrifty tips!
Here are the two ways to enter. Make sure to leave a comment for each one as each one is a separate entry.
- This is the “mandatory” entry. We love hearing from each of you and your tips. So, this week we want to know your tips on anything concerning Labor Day Fun.
- For your next entry, leave a second comment if you are a “liker” of The Thrifty Couple on Facebook. Its not too late if you’re not a liker yet, just go to our page and click ‘Like’. We also post extra deals and information on Facebook for our readers that you will not find on the site here.
We will share some of our tips when we make the announcement of the winner tomorrow!

Skype with loved ones too far away to spend the weekend with. It is one of the “thriftiest” and “niftiest” gifts you can give or receive!

I like to look for inexpensive things around the community to do on Labor day. We’re going to an international festival around here this weekend. It’s free except for food.

This labor day, we will be staying FAR away from the beach, due to hurricane Earl. If it’s a nice day, we might take the kids to one of the zoo’s in NYC.
Kristin
Typically we would do at least a day trip to the beach, but this year we’re going to relax at home, go picnic in the park and go car shopping. Now that’s my idea of fun! Longer car trips and camping can be exhausting.
Monica
My best tip for labor day, is make it relaxing. With all the chaos of school starting and other activities, it’s nice to have a relaxing day.

We don’t usually do too much for Labor Day. Here in Idaho schools are in full gear before Labor Day, so we just enjoy a long weekend at home.
I think this year my husband and I are having a date day. Since we’re both off work, we’ll be able to eat a happy hour somewhere. That’s a thrifty way to eat out!

We have rented a pavillion at a local park for the day. The family (grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins) will play games, eat, play at the park and visit for the day.

Labor Day fun tip…have a bonfire and make smores! We usually go camping for Labor Day, but even on years we can’t we have a bonfire or campfire, either in the back yard or go to one of the parks where you can build a cooking fire. We roast hotdogs and make smores. Very inexpensive but the kids look forward to it every year…so do I.
Debbie P
There are always lots of cheap or free things to do around the community for Labor Day, so I think taking advantage of that is a good idea.

Take time to hang out in enjoy the last days of summer on labor day. It will be fall before you know it…
Alena W.
Unfortunately Labor Day is not any different from the other days in our house because the hubby still has to work. If he didn’t, we would probably go enjoy a family hike. We love hiking!
