This year, St. Patrick's Day falls on a Saturday, which means more Americans will be celebrating as opposed to if it were on a weekday. This is great news for bars and retailers who will be bringing in more revenue as people buy "Irish" merchandise and beverages. While you will have more freedom to have fun without worrying about going to work the next day, you need to keep an eye on how much your "fun" is costing you. There are ways to save money, and still have a good time this Saturday. One way is to make your own t-shirt! Retailers are selling thousands of "Irish", drinking, and shamrock shirts for around $30. Instead, make your own shirt for as low as $10! Throw a party at your house and avoid being overcharged at bars. There are some big St. Patrick's Day parades as well this weekend, which are free of charge and major events. New York City's parade is Saturday and South Boston's is Sunday. Both are spectacular events and won't cost you a dime to see! Your goal this weekend can be to wear more green than spend green.
