Denver on the Cheap: A Great Day for Only $52.80
We all know Denver isn’t the super affordable city it once was. But we’re all still here, trying to get by and enjoy that Mile High life. So we challenged ourselves to find the best ways to enjoy a day in Denver on the cheap — and by cheap we mean, how can a Denverite pack a whole day of fun around the city for $52.80 or less? Host Bree Davies, producer Paul Karolyi, and state politics and green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval each schemed, plotted, and planned a great Denver day without breaking the bank. Today, join them as they talk through the best eats, events, and entertainment Denver has to offer, with a slim budget of $52.80!

Paul suggests you take advantage of Denver Public Library’s free museum pass program, the great prices at El Taco de Mexico, this hot tip for cheap drinks at Coors Field. Justine includes a RiNo weed deal, the best way to enjoy the Museum of Contemporary Art, a free trip to her favorite park, and plenty of bus rides (which will be free again in August!). Bree’s got her eye on bánh mì bargains on Federal, movies on Colfax, concerts at Ruby Hill, and tacos on Alameda.
