The holiday season can be crazy expensive. Christmas is coming up which means you need to start saving all of your money for presents. I find that during November everyone gets in the holiday spirit which means you end up spending a lot more money than usual. You find yourself meeting up with friends more often, shopping every other weekend, going out to restaurants more, but considering how much money you're going to be spending in December, that's not always the smartest option.
Close your wallets now. My wallet feels the wrath of the holiday season for months after Christmas passes. Because of this, I like to be smart about how I spend my money during the holiday season. This is why I have crafted a list of free (and fun!) things you can do this November so that you set aside all of your spare cash to spoil your loved ones this Christmas.
Here are a bunch of free events, classes and just free things to do in Vancouver during November!
