Most of us have by now resolved to cut back on our expenses by doing things like, meal prep, taking our lunch to work & saving more! However, let’s face it- as much as we try to part ways with our vanilla lattes or hot caramel macchiatos, sometimes it’s easier said than done. Why not join me and take advantage of some free and inexpensive things around our City to help keep some cash in your pocket. “What fun things can I do for free or almost free in Miramar?” Why, I’m glad you asked!
1. Dance your stress away with a free Zumba class on the plaza at City Hall- join the exuberant group Thursdays from 6:00pm- 7:00pm.
2. Unwind with a free Yoga class every last Monday of the month at the Miramar Library from 5:30pm- 6:30pm. Don’t forget your yoga mat!
3. Stroll through the Ansin Art Gallery at the Miramar Cultural Center and check out the latest collection on display. https://miramarculturalcenter.org/567/Ansin-Family-Art-Gallery
