• Visit your parents. It’s one of the best budget friendly ideas. Even if it seems that celebrating New Year with your parents isn’t the most exciting idea, you can turn it into a bonding event. Talk, share your plans for the New Year, and get closer with your family members. You’ll certainly like it.

• Travel to New York. Join the 1 million people who gather in Times Square to watch the ball drop.

• Go on a bar crawl. Pre-plan a route. Take your friends with you. Stop at a number of bars along the way to have a drink there.

• Stay home. Sounds boring? Then invite your friends to make it funnier. It’s the best way to save your money on New Year’s Eve.

• Celebrate in Brazilian style. Arrange a Brazilian party. Prepare some South American food and drinks. Turn on Brazilian music and have your guests wear white clothing.

• Host a potluck dinner. Ask each of your guests to cook one dish for your party. Serve everything they brought like a buffet.

• Organize a firework display. Buy fireworks in advance to save money. Of course, you have to know how to use them safely. If you don’t, better skip this idea.
