September is Library Card Sign-up Month! If you don’t have a card, it’s one of the easiest things you can do to open the door to free (and cheap) entertainment.
Not only can you check out books in the library, but you can also gain access to apps like Libby, where you can borrow digital books, audiobooks, and digital magazines.
The following benefits are available from the San Diego County and City of San Diego Library networks. Check with your local library to see what benefits and events they host!
Get out on the Town: Reserve free or low-cost family day passes to local museums and attractions (like the New Children’s Museum, Museum of Us, and San Diego Museum of Art) using your San Diego Public Library or San Diego County Library card.
Get into Nature: CA State Library Parks Pass: Check out a physical vehicle-entry pass for free admission to participating California State Parks for 14 days.
Digital Research Databases: Use your library card for free access to online subscriptions, language learning software, and digital archives.
Skill-Building & Wellness Classes: Access free instructional classes covering healthy aging, programs for adults with disabilities, and wellness activities like yoga or meditation.
Learning for the whole family: ABC Mouse is available for free with your library card, and it’s a great resource for young kids. There are resources for kids of all ages, including help with homework!
Free Events: Most local library systems host free events. Our local branch hosts activities for kids, families, teens (laser tag once a month at the library after hours!), and seniors. There are tons of events every month– scroll through and find something that interests you!
If you are looking for a protein product for the dairy-free person in your family, take a look at Orgain. Their products are free of animal products. My youngest doesn’t digest milk proteins too well, so when I was looking for a protein drink to supplement with (ADHD sometimes leads to delayed hunger cues, and when it’s time to consume calories, it needs to be done NOW), I turned to Orgain.
It’s Labor Day Weekend! A lot of you have fun plans, trips out of town, and some of you (like us) are staying close to home and chilling out.
August is National Eye Exam Month. And for some of us, that leads to glasses. If you are of a frugal mind like me, here are a few ways to save some money on eye exams and glasses/contacts.
AO Opinions is another Market Research company that emails me about studies and surveys. Right now, they are recruiting for a new study for Parents & Children regarding Eye care. Earn up to $500 if selected and fully participate.
