Local Beer Stores
Everyone brings a different kind of local beer and does a blind taste test with each kind of beer. Pretty straight forward.

Bridge Jumping!
This might sound Crazy, but if you're safe and make sure to be careful it can be a very exciting event. Yes, there is a chance you can get hurt. And yes, there is a chance that you can get in trouble, but that is often requried if you are cheaper than $7.
When I speak of bridge jumping, I'm not speaking of jumping off bridges that are millions of feet high with a parachute to catch you. I'm speaking of finding a nice size bridge that isn't near a busy road where it's safe to jump off and land into a deep pool of water. You could get in trouble with the local police, but I'm not sure what the punishement is. Just go to a small enough town where this is commonplace.
Other ideas like this:
- cliff jumping, if you can find a cliff around.
- building a rope swing into the lake.
- building a zip line to the lake.
BE SAFE!!!

Home Run Derby
America's pasttime doesn't have to mean "watching baseball." Why not get a tennis ball out and pretend you are actually a good hitter. Studies have shown that hitting a tennis ball with a bat correlates with reduced stress level....alongside dilusionary visions of athleticism.Location: Parks

Free Samples Lunch
Price: 0$ (kind of)
Location: Multiple
This idea is kind of a cheat for PoorMan's weekend because it requires a membership. However, if you become a regular, you end up paying for the membership. Costco always has free samples and tons of them. Just come in during lunch time and walk up and down a few times and you should be set. If you are still hungry you can alway hit up the $2 pizza or $1.50 enormous hotdog. To make it a little more fun, try and figure out who the "regulars" are.

Taco Eating Contest- Taco Tuesday
This is an all time favorite.... Of course I enjoy eating and I eat fairly fast so it makes perfect sense. Gather up some of your best friends and challenge them to an eating contest. I enjoy going to Taco John's on a Tuesday and hitting up their .59 cent tacos. Grab 8 or so Tacos and start up the race. Now, the couple times I've done this the young ladies working at the store actually gave the winning some free potato Oles and some dipping cheese so feel free to flirt it up with the ladies behind the counter to add in a prize.
The only thing that was hard about this contest was dealing with the taco shells that were a tad big to go down the throat. But everything goes in LOVE and EATING CONTESTS.
Enjoy the meal and enjoy the competition.
