I don't usually have more than one tightwad tip a week but a friendly visitor to the site sent me this tip that I just had to share - "When you become a member at any of the following cultural institutions- Children's Museum, Ford Museum, Art Museum or John Ball Zoo - you get to visit the other places for FREE on a particular month. You show your membership card and get up to six people (2 adults and 4 children) in for free. You can visit every day of the month if you'd like. I find the best deal is to join the Children's Museum as a Pals Pair. 2 people (1 adult and 1 child) join for $35 or $40 (?) But you still get 6 people in to all the other places. The Exchange Schedule starts in May and for the Children's Museum members, this is the schedule:
May - Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park
June - Ford Presidential Museum
July - Art Museum
August - John Ball Zoo
If you go once to Meijer Gardens in May with a family of 6 you've paid for your membership with your savings. The Children's Museum seems to most readily give you the info about this program but the others should have it too."
A special thank you to Paula for passing along this information! If you have a tightwad tip that you think others would like to know, e-mail savedfromwaste@yahoo.com. Who knows, you could see your tip on my website!
