Summer is HERE in beautiful Panama City!! Want to get out and do something but you're low on funds? Frugalicious will help you by sharing cool things to do for about $20 (per person) or less!!
With a fresh twenty burning a hole in my pocket, I ventured out early Saturday morning:

Breakfast at Short Stacks on Hwy 231 (Yum!)
2 Pancakes, 2 Eggs, Bacon with a Bottomless Cup o' Joe
$4 plus $1.50 tip & tax (*Remember: If you can't tip at least 20%-it's either fast food or snackin' at home)
Hit a Few Yard Sales in the Cove
$.75 for a pack of scrapbook goodies

$.25 for Gap Baseball Hat (with tags still on!)

Antique Mall

Stop by the Antique Mall in Downtown Panama City and step into the air conditioning! Browsing is FREE, and it is neat to see all the old junk for sale. If you see something you can't live without, put it down and go through the store again. No impulse buying or you'll blow your budget.

Panama City Marina

Spend a buck in the Dollar General Store on an ice cold soda or water. Down at the Marina, sit on a bench seat and relax for a few minutes...watching the boats go by can really be soothing and you may see a dolphin or two. Plus, soaking up some rays will not only give your skin some more color, but you'll get a nice dose of Vitamin D.

午餐 (Lunch)

The Panda Buffet has an All-you-can-eat Chinese/Japanese lunch for a great deal. Adding tea or soda can add on an extra dollar or two. Stick with ice water and lemon to $ave. Fresh Sushi, Mongolian Buffet and of course a fortune cookie for 5.95 plus $2.50 tax & tip. After filling our bellies it's time to check the cash flow.

$5.50 Breakfast

$1.00 Yard Sale Goodies

$0.00 Antique Mall

$1.00 Bottled Water

$8.50 Lunch

$16.00 TOTAL

With about $4 left over, I decided to stop by Movie Gallery on 23rd Street and rent a great movie for the night! Invite some friends over...Ask them to bring a pizza or two and you'll provide the sweet tea and entertainment!

$20 dollars and a day well spent...Frugalicious!

Hey Stephanie!

Since we live so close to each other, Patsy and I have decided to go "Frugalizing" with you one Saturday. Is "Frugalizing" a word? After all, everyone needs to be careful with their spending and girl, you have captured the wallets of Bay County!

Great job with the research and I want to hear more great news about saving money and also where we can get great coffee cheap. Can't wait for the next addition of, "Frugalicious!"

Love Ya!

Hey Steph,

I just loved your article, abosolutely fantabulous! I did not realize you could make $20 go so far. I can't wait to give your most helpful hints a run for the money. HA HA. Well I certainly look forward to your next article.

Love you BFF,

Vickie
