Get More Bang for Your Membership Buck!

Get More Bang for Your Membership Buck!

By Kelly Whalen If you are looking for a way to get out of the house, and do something without breaking the bank, it may seem your options are limited, but using these simple tricks, you will be able to get out of the house without going broke. Free Days Many museums offer days of the year, or hours during the week, where you can get in for free or reap deep discounts. For instance, here is a fantastic list on NY.com of museums in New York City that are free , take only donations, or offer free times every week. Scout your local area's websites, and call your local museums/attractions, to find out if and when they offer any free or pay-as-you-wish times. Another option is to volunteer! If you volunteer you may get a free membership, or at the very least use of the museum or attraction after you are done helping out. Volunteering is also a fantastic way to meet people who share common interests. It Pays to Be a Member Purchasing a membership is the key to consistently going places on a budget. By being a "member," you can take advantage of reciprocal memberships. Reciprocal memberships are memberships that give you the benefit of admission to similar attractions. By digging around on your chosen attraction's website, you can usually find any associations and rules for using your membership at other places. For instance, by using the American Horticultural Society's website , I was able to find a local garden membership at nearly half the cost of the garden I was considering joining. You may find a membership at a vacation spot or in your hometown that is a less expensive option to your local attraction to stretch your dollar even further. This can be a boon when there are rules about how far away you have to be from your "home" museum or site. Aren't sure you want to purchase a membership without visiting first? Ask if you can buy one that same day if you change your mind. In my experience, many places offer this benefit because it's a win-win. Just be sure to hold onto your receipt, and usually the membership office can...

Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman to Trade Bodies in ‘Change-Up’

Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman are going to change things up in 'Change-Up,' according to Variety . The 'Freaky Friday'-ish movie tells the tale of a responsible family man (Bateman) who flip-flops bodies with his lazy best friend (Reynolds). 'Change-Up' is tentatively scheduled to begin shooting in September. Reynolds recently starred alongside Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock in 'The Proposal.' Bateman will be in theaters on August 20, sharing the screen with Jennifer Aniston in 'The Switch.' He was also in the Oscar-nominated film 'Up in the Air.' [Read full story on The Insider]
