The Dumb Friends League has more than 200 cats looking for a loving home. Through Sunday, October 21, adopt an adult cat (1 year and older) for FREE. Feline adoption fees typically range from $55 to $75, so this is a great savings.

All potential pet parents still must go through the screening process. The Dumb Friends League deal is good at both the Quebec Street Shelter at 2080 S. Quebec St. in Denver and the Buddy Center at 4556 Castleton Ct. in Castle Rock.

Dinner and a show has always been the perfect pairing for a night on the town, whether it’s a first date, part of a birthday/anniversary celebration or a regularly scheduled evening out with a loved one. A good meal and a good show make for a memorable night.
Of course, a special night on the town doesn’t mean bargain hunters need to stay home because of the cost. With these deals from the Denver Center For The Performing Arts, you can be “fancy and frugal.”
DCPA has partnered with restaurants downtown to offer ticket holders deals, before or after a show. To get the savings, you simply need to show the wait staff your ticket from one of DCPA shows — valid only the day of the show.

Mile High Cheapskates love this time of the year. The ghouls, ghosts, zombies and witches are flying about the beautiful Colorado skies. Denver, Boulder and all points in between Castle Rock on the south and Fort Collins on the north offer an abundance of Halloween activities for kids and adults. If there are any we’ve missed, email us the details at info@milehighonthecheap.com and we’ll do our best to get them added to the list.
You don’t have to wait until October 31 for all the free and low-cost fun, with dozens of happenings filling the days and nights before All Hallow’s Eve. If you need ideas on ways to save, check out 18 Ways to Celebrate Without Spending a Scary Amount of Money.
