Tight budgets shouldn't stop anyone from having fun in Tucson! We just found this great local blog, http://tucsononthecheap.com, in which the writers post new bargains and freebies daily, including family fun, attractions, hotels, restaurants and bars. They call it "Tucson On The Cheap: The Cheapskate's Guide to Fun in Tucson," but I call it "Search for spare change in your couch and get out and do something!"

For example, today's post reads:
