CheapSkate: A cheapskate’s guide to having fun for free or so cheap it’s like you’re stealing.

FREE BEER!!! – Now that I have your attention, I feel obligated to say that technically there isn’t free beer. Unfortunate, yes I know. But wait, there’s good to come of this I promise! On March 6th the Brazos Valley Bombers is holding Beer Fest from 3 pm – 6 pm and admission is FREE! Free something is better than nothing right? Holding true to its name (minus the obnoxious German men – watch the movie if you’re confused) Beer Fest is offering over 200 beers to sample. Along with this great offer is a fajita cook off, wine samples and live music. All of which is “proudly presented by” O’Bannon’s Tap House–one of my ultimate favorite spots for great beer. Get more info at bvbankballpark.com and ticket pricing and specials.
Who: All the peeps!
Drinkability rating: 4.5 out of 5 samples
Recja-vue? – Health isn’t cheap or convenient nowadays but when you can get it for free or really cheap then why the hell not? The rec is a great place to look for all you groupies out there who prefer the group workout mentality. Group RecXercise classes are offered daily for free and cater to a variety of taste which usually isn’t the case with most free things. I mentioned long ago some classes but now have an updated list of what’s offered for free Monday – Saturday. Cardio water classes, cycling, abs and back, step classes and even yoga, just to name a few. Confused because you don’t speak cardio? Then visit recsports.tamu.edu for a more detailed description of each class. Check it out for a great workout, fun environment and some to ditch those lbs!

Kill Fest – For all the gamer addicts out there who don’t have time for beer or beer festivals (I know you’re out there) be overjoyed to learn that Play N Trade BCS is holding a Halo 3 tournament on March 6th from 12:30 pm – 8:30 pm. (4×4 which I’m assuming means four against four? I don’t speak tournament lingo.) Entry is only $10 which is a cheap price to pay for laying the smack down on your fellow opponents. Prizes will be announced at the start of the tournament so I’m hoping they’ll let you decline if for some reason they’re not worth 10 bucks. Visit http://www.inaggieland.com for more information.
Who: All the crazy Halo addicts
