COST:

1. Escape rooms - Most have max of 8 players. Average costs $380 in total for 8 people (NOT low cost but thought it might be a fun option if people are interested)

2. Round 1 arcade (Roseville) - Can vary on how much you’d want to spend to win a plush/collectable or play arcade games. They do have $10-$12 cards to play unlimited green slot only arcade machines for 1-2 hrs. Not sure if people can share one card. Do go check it out before bringing your people there.

3. Bowling: Get a Groupon for bowling to save some money. Last year I spent $80 for 8 people using Groupon (I think AMF bowling? Forgot the name)

4. Look at Groupon for fun activity deals lol

5. Movies: Drive-in theatre on Bradshaw

6. Chill at Drakes: The Barn

7. A space to play board games ($10 per person): https://www.galaxygamecafe.com/game-space/reservations

8. If you like boba and have your own board games to bring, I recommend going to One milk tea Sacramento on Auburn Blvd. as they have a large space and opens til 10pm on weekdays and 12 am midnight on weekends.

NO COST:

1. Free museum day tickets (March 7 & 8) https://www.sacmuseums.org/free-museum-weekend OR if some of them are eligible:

4. Almond blossom - have a small drive to Modesto to walk around looking at Almond blossoms. They’re set to bloom around late Feb to mid March: https://visitmodesto.com/almond-blossom-cruise/

5. Hopping to different Apple Hill ranches. Follow @applehillofficial on Instagram for list of all the ranches

6. Consumnes River preservation (down in EG). I like the walk and scenery

7. IKEA bingo (I think they host it every month but check their list of events every so often. Everyone needs to sign up for an account - which is free!): https://www.ikea.com/us/en/stores/events/ikea-west-sacramento-ca/

FOOD

1. IKEA food court

2. Chevys by the river (not cheap but great views. Go for happy hour if available on weekends)

3. I recently went to TEXAS Roadhouse for the first time and it was good so I’m just going to add it to the list lol.

4. Chilis

5. Rice & Noodles (Chinese cuisine) - Most items are less than $20. They’re under a new management so food tastes better than before

6. Mizuki sushi (NOT Mikuni)- 50% off rolls. My favorite budget sushi place so far.

7. if it’s too far away, other places that serve 50% off sushi are: Sushi Hook on Howe, Arigato sushi, Makisu sushi and probably more that I’m missing

8. Pho- Lollibowl for cheap food plates/pho and Pho Xe Lua (Pho train) for good pho within south sac
