Duck Feeding!

Feeding the ducks and geese at the park is one of my favorite past times. Is it cheesy? Yep. Is it fun? Definitely! Also: It is cheap.
If you go to the Hostess Outlet Store you can get the bread that's on sale, 3 for $2.49. This bread is really doubly on sale because everything in the store is cheap, and the goods on the sale rack are "about to expire" aka half stale. Also, right down the road is Polly's Country Market, which sometimes has great sales on bread items (like hamburger buns for 34 cents a bag).

The combination of those three things makes this a great thing to do for all ages. The fowl at the Northlawn Park at are odd. Some of them look like odd mutant cross breeds (although I've been told this is impossible) and they all know the routine. If you go in the winter, they flock around the car as you drive in. It is difficult to get out and back into your car, but cute that they try so hard. In the warmer months, some of them will ignore you (mainly the Mallard ducks) and some will drive the others away to get more bread. Some will also eat bread from your hand.

In short, duck feeding is a cheap and entertaining.
