No Money Weekend
Maximum fun on minimum funds.. Here's our weekly pre-weekend tips for means to extract the mostest fun, on the leastest money. Particularly handy if you spent all your money at Laneway last weekend. Particularly handy if you're spending more time out during the week than you normally would on "just a few casual white wines" and "just a few cheap Fringe Festival shows", that actually amount to a considerable outlay by week's end. Particularly handy if you left your wallet in the back of a taxi, or you have no idea where you left your wallet. Particularly handy you know exactly where your wallet is, and you know exactly how much money it does not contain.

No Money Weekend
Maximum fun on minimum funds.. Just 'coz you've only got a few clams in your account doesn't mean you have to bury yourself in the sand and avoid social contact all weekend. Study Pilerats' handy cheapskates' guide to the weekend closely - everything in it is $5 or cheaper - and prepare to put your money woes and anti-social lows behind you.

If you can make it to the end of the obstacle course, there’s a free BBQ in it for you at the end. If your bike is the most blingiest, you could win a prize.

No Money Weekend
Attention all cheapskates and cheap dates.. An important part of being an adult is learning how to manage a budget. When you learn how to do that, please let us know because we still haven't figured it out. We prefer this method: lose track of how much money you're spending on everything, end up broke by Friday afternoon, and rely on the $10 in spare change you found on the floor of your car (more life advice: don't clean your car) to get you through the weekend. When you've been making do on a tenner every weekend you learn pretty quickly how to avoid doing expensive shit, so we're here to share our learnings with you. Think of us as that token, wise older sibling that's been around forever and always knows where to go to score... free stuff.

For a fiver tonight you can get up close and sweaty with Doctopus’
No Money Weekend
Welcome to your $0 weekend.. Just cause your bank account’s in the negative doesn’t mean your weekend’s gotta be a drag. Here's our guide on how to extract the mostest fun on the leastest money. Header Image: Lukasz Wierzbowski LET MEI MOVE YOU Hands down the best thing you’ll spend a fiver on all weekend. Yep, it’s not free, but it’s cheap-as, and it’s worth every cent. One of Perth’s most captivating and soulful female singers, Mei Saraswati (whom you might have seen totally destroy the Boiler Room in her other act, Savoir - check out new music from those guys here), has assembled a super group of talented Perth musicians to back her (already brilliant) solo compositions. You’ll also get to check out the loose, spaced-out experi-funk/disco of Cosmo Gets, who have a new live show, replete with trippy visuals and alien vocoders, that absolutely rules. Sat Nov 22, 8pm – 12am, The Bird, 181 William Street, Northbridge. $5. “Dress breezy”. Event HERE. Above: Mei Saraswati (photo by Amb
No Money Weekend
Maximum fun on minimum funds - your cheapskate's guide to the weekend.. Money can buy booze and gig tickets and movies and tasty food, all of our standard weekend-go tos, but money can't buy the thrill you'll get skating along the ocean's edge under the stars, experiencing the sweat and passion of live punk in someone's backyard, or the feel-good endorphins that come from watching puppies going insane. Welcome to your $0 weekend. (Image: James Whineray) NIGHT SKATE THE WEST COAST When I was in high school one of my favourite things to do on the weekend was to catch public transport to skate parks with group of friends. While it may not have been that many years ago, I’m fairly sure if I were to throw myself over a set of stairs on my skateboard these days, it would only result in me hurting myself, but that doesn’t mean I doesn’t mean I don’t still enjoy the occasional skate. While it may be dominated by cyclists and mums with prams by day, the coast road between Trigg and Hillarys is
