Hey there, Super Saver! Father's Day is just around the corner—June 16, 2024, to be exact. Time to kick off your gift-giving game with a playbook full of budget-friendly ideas that’ll score big with Dad. Forget pricey professional events and say hello to an unforgettable day tailored just for him, right at home. Here's how you can turn Father’s Day into a touchdown of fun without breaking the bank!


Score Big with Free Sporting Events

No need to shell out for expensive tickets when you can bring the excitement of live sports right to your living room. Check out these winning strategies:

- Free Streaming Services: Apps like Tubi, PlutoTV, and Xumo stream everything from major league baseball games to pickleball tournaments. They're free and packed with content. 

- League and Team Websites: MLB.com streams one free game every day (just sign up for free). Check if your dad's favorite team offers free games or other sports-related content.

- Free Trials: Use free trials of streaming services to catch live events. Just set a reminder to cancel before the trial ends to avoid charges.


Host an All-Star Watch Party

If a full game isn’t your dad’s style, go for a sports-themed movie marathon. Here’s how to line up an MVP-worthy lineup:

- TV Apps and Libraries: Watch sports biopics or action-packed sports movies on Tubi, PlutoTV, or your local library's collection. 

- Affordable Rentals: Rent classics like Hoosiers for as little as $2.99 on Prime Video or watch for free with services like PlutoTV, Roku Channel, and Tubi. Check imdb.com for streaming options and prices before you rent.


Snack Attack: Game Day Grub on a Budget

Forget stadium prices! Keep your wallet happy and your taste buds cheering with these delicious, budget-friendly snack ideas:

- Grill Master: Fire up the grill and cook some mouth-watering burgers and hot dogs.

- DIY Drinks: Pour your own sodas or mix up some refreshing mocktails.

- Grocery Store Goodies: Grab deli buffalo wings and chips for a fraction of the cost you'd pay at a game.


Extra Points: Making the Day Special

Boost the fun with these extra tips to make Dad’s day even more special:

- Sports-Themed Decorations: Hit up your local discount retailer for decorations and party favors.

- Outdoor Activities: Take the celebration outside with a backyard game of catch or a friendly family soccer match.

- Flexible Scheduling: His favorite team playing on Saturday? Celebrate on Saturday instead!

- Minor League Games: Score tickets to a minor league game for as low as $5.
