Welcome to Boston Living on the Cheap. As the editor and publisher, I’m thrilled to help you find and enjoy free and cheap things to do in and around Boston.
Boston and its environs are wonderful places to live. There are many cultural institutions, dozens of colleges and universities, fantastic restaurants and great sporting events and venues. If you’re like me, however, you know that Boston is also an expensive place to call home. Indeed, according to the Expatistan website, Boston comes in at number 8 on the cost of living index for all cities in North America.
For the budget-conscious, this is a top 10 list that has its downside.
