Especially in this economy, catching up with someone doesn’t have to mean spending over $40 at a cafe or a bar. 

Kate Hall has a few suggestions on how you can turn your social time into something fun, practical, and a bit cheaper. 

Ideas to try:  
Seed or plant swap – everyone brings seedlings or cuttings, go home with a garden upgrade  
Baking swap – make one thing, leave with a full spread  
Meal prep swap – cook one big dish each, swap portions = dinners sorted  
Clothing swap – especially good for the autumnal seasonal change or kids clothes  
Pantry swap – jams, chutneys, sourdough starter, bulk goods  
Home goods swap – books, decor, kitchen extras  

Why it works:  
It saves money  
It reduces waste  
And it builds actual connection (not just sitting across a table spending money)
