Thrifty Thursdays: You gotta have fun!!

7 Ways to Save in the Cincinnati Scene

1. The Cincinnati Art Museum: Did you know that the art museum is free everyday!! That is 60,000 works of art all for the low, low price of $0. If that isn't a bargain I don't know what is! www.cincinnatiartmuseum.org

2. The Contemporary Arts Center: Monday's from 5pm to 9pm the CAC is free. Grab a friend and unwind while winding through Zaha Hadid's magnificent building. And don't forget to check out the unMuseum! www.contemporaryartscenter.org

3. Fountain Square: There is always something going on at Fountain Square. From ice skating to karaoke to live music this is a great place to hang out and have some fun. Most events are free! www.myfountainsquare.com

4. Cyclones Hockey: The Cyclones are all about their fans having fun on a budget. Most of their home games feature some kind of $1 special, pizza, beer, hot dogs, and even pulled pork sandwiches. To see the schedule of events go to www.cycloneshockey.com

5. Dollar Fridays at Turfway Downs: By Friday most of us are ready for some fun. What better way than to head to Turfway Downs for $1 Buds and hotdogs. There is live racing and live music from some of the best cover bands in the city. www.turfway.com

6. 5 for $5: The bars of Covington have found a great way for people to still go out and have a few cocktails without breaking the bank. On Wednesday evenings Cosmos & Mulligan's feature 5 for $5 well drinks or bottled beer, and on Thursdays Molly Malone's & Keystone offer the same.
