If you feel like nothing but a strong pot of coffee will get you out of bed, join the club. Our bills are high, the temperatures are low and the days are way too short! Not everyone has the extra money to jet set to the nearest ski lodge or escape the cold with a trip down south. If you’re on a budget and looking for budget friendly winter activities, you came to the right place. Check out our list of cheap but FUN winter activities.
