The Best Yakima Fun You Can Have for 10 Bucks or Less

Let's face it, for many of us, times are tough. We are counting our nickles (RIP to the Penny!) and watching our wallets. Just because you're trying not to spend all of your money left over after paying the bills doesn't mean you have to sit around the house being bored all day.

You don't need more than 10 bucks to have a surprisingly fun day in Yakima -- you just have to know where to go!

Budget-Friendly Tips You Can Use Right Now

• Want to save a little on gas or don't feel like driving? Ride the Yakima Transit bus.
• Hate that gas is still too dang high? Get gas on the Rez.
• Tires low? Instead of digging around for quarters to use at the gas station air machines, stop at a local tire shop that will put air in your tires for free! (I've heard you can do this at Les Schwab!)
