Hmmm...I wonder what this post is about
Fortunately, the recession is lifting; unfortunately, that eliminates the need for Screw You Recession. That is definitely not something to look forward to this week but the show must go on!
I’ve helped you fill your schedules with cheap awesomeness all summer long but now it’s your turn to do the searching. Look back to TTLFT 6 for a guide to finding really cool happenings nationwide all on your lonesome.
I love you too much to leave you empty handed so here are some super duper fall guides to keep you busy over the next little while (more…)

Dear Diary,
It’s already the second week of September. Can you believe it? Here I am wearing my parka and UGG boots thinking a brisk fall breeze will knock me off my feet when another heat wave plagues Toronto. As you may have guessed, I’m sweating like a fat kid in a candy store. Perhaps I should shower. Nah, too lazy. Anyways, Diary, I figured I’d take advantage of this nice weather find some stuff to do outside.
This is what I have in mind:
Art Walk: The ROM hosts free themed walking tours of Toronto areas. This week, you can check out Yorkville and the Annex. I think this is fabulous. (more…)

Happy last week of August!
Okay, not happy at all. At least summer is only officially over in a couple weeks but when September rolls around, it always feels like the season has come to an end. There’s no use in being a sad panda though, there’s tons to look forward to in the upcoming months; heck, there’s a lot to look forward to this week!
Fresh Wednesdays—Local produce and live music! Check out the farmers’ market at Nathan Phillips Square and stick around for a performance by Dirty Dishes. (more…)

All right pal, now you're just milking it.
I noticed that Thade posted about volunteering earlier. I couldn’t agree with him more that volunteering is one of the most fulfilling things you can do in this life.
I volunteer pretty frequently myself. On Tuesdays, I give post-workout rub downs to the competitive Canadian Hot Girl team. Thursdays, I do unpaid stand-up comedy at the local funeral home. Saturdays, I stand on the boulevard of a local street and yell at speeding drivers as they zoom by. Nobody asks me to do that last one, but I feel the difference I am making with every obscenity and hard object thrown in my direction. (more…)

Gd’afternoon! I hope those of you who are in provinces that have a civic holiday are enjoying your long weekend. Everyone else: sucks to be you! Just kidding, you’ll get your chance to mock us.
Happy August! I like August, mainly because my birthday is on the 21st (yes, I will accept your presents, thank you for asking), oh and Virgin Festival is at the end of the month (or this weekend if you live in Alberta!).
So what’s keeping the cheapskate Canucks busy this week?

September is a little over a month away but let’s not think about that. There’s still a lot of summer left to enjoy!
Here’s some fun cheapness to take advantage of this week:
Movie Night! —If you’re out east, head over to the Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk on the 31st for an outdoor screening of Harold And Maude. It’s shown on an inflatable screen, how cool is that! Admission is only $5.
Festival Of The Caribbean—Toronto’s 42nd Caribana festival is upon us this weekend. There will be a ton of free events, unique vendors and a really awesome parade. The festival brings over 1 million participants into the city making it a tried and true Toronto tradition.

Hey folks!
This is going to be a busy week. Hopefully mister sun sticks around so we can enjoy it that much more!
Here’s what there is to look forward to this week:
Halifax Pride—Get your rainbow gear together because there are plenty of fabulous and frugal Pride events going on until the 26th. Free art shows, cheap concerts, drink deals, and a picnic, what more can you ask for?
Fancy-Free Fashion—I mentioned this event last week but may I remind you that Toronto is the new home to Frugal Fashion Week. Check out the thriftiest and trendiest fashion event of the summer!

Another week, another line up of fun things to set your frugal hearts ablaze. Why don’t we take a gander?
Mobile Movies And Stargazing: This is so adorable—a Bike-In Movie! The Museum of Vancouver will be screening The Triplets of Belleville today (July 13th) in Vanier Park. Admission is by donation. Bring your wheels and some popcorn!
While you’re at Vanier, go to the MacMillan Observatory for a closer look at the constellations. Sounds like the perfect date to me!
