Bet you didn't know that today is International Frugal Fun Day : first Saturday in October.
From a website titled Holiday Insights
Shel Horowitz seems like an interesting character. Born on 24 December 1956 in New York City, he is reflecting his Sun and Mercury sign, Capricorn, well in his career. With Venus conjunct Capricorn's ruler Saturn in Sagittarius, and in semi-sextile to natal Sun, there's a definite feel of reining in excesses going on.

I haven't decided how to celebrate frugality today. Maybe I'll just sit and think great thoughts - or if I'm being really frugal - small thoughts.
From a website titled Holiday Insights
If you dig deeply, you will find resources that describe this day as "International" Frugal Fun Day, and "National" Frugal Fun Day. However, we found no documentation supporting the International or National tags. We did find plenty of reference to the intent of this day.... to have fun "on the cheap".
Frugal Fun Day is a day to enjoy fun activities that are free (or very inexpensive). If you use your imagination, the ideas are endless. Go on a bike or walking hike. The Fall leaves are on display. Have a picnic in the park, or your back yard. Invite some friends or neighbors over for a garage party and dance. Go fly a kite. Pull out the those old board games or puzzles that you have stored in the basement. Play cards with some friends.
Origin of Frugal Fun Day:
This special day was created by Shel Horowitz, author of "The Penny-Pinching Hedonist: How to Live Like Royalty with a Peasant's Pocketbook". We strongly suspect Frugal Fun Day was created, in part, to promote the book. Regardless of the reason for creating this day, we see nothing wrong with having a little inexpensive fun.
