There are countless ways to spend $5, the minimum payout amount from Pawns, without getting much value. However, there are also some great ways to spend that amount of money. All you need is a bit of creativity, and ideas just start popping up!

Our Favorite Seven Ways to Spend $5 and Make the Most of It

You’d be surprised by how much you can actually do with just $5. With some imagination, you can turn it into a memorable date or start a new tradition by organizing a fun family night. Here are our seven favorite ways to spend $5 and have a blast!

Go on a Date

If you’re dating or you’re married without children, a fun date seems like a logical option. You can go for ice cream, get a cup of coffee at your partner’s favorite coffee shop, or go rollerskating. Check out if local places have discounts or special offers to make the most of your money, and go for it. The possibilities are endless!

However, if you prefer staying at home, you can use the $5 to buy a pack of cards and some popcorn for a good few hours of fun. Or just get the popcorn, dig up your favorite childhood board game from the attic or basement, and enjoy!

Organize a Family Night

While it may sound unbelievable, $5 is more than enough for a fun family night. You can use the money to get some sauce, a bag of cheese, and a can of pizza crust. Making pizza with your little ones is a great way to spend some quality time together. Better yet, you can enjoy it together with a great movie. Pick their favorite or choose a free classic on YouTube!

Go Thrifting

Everyone likes to dress up nicely, but sometimes our budget simply can’t accommodate a shopping spree. However, if you stick to thrift stores, $5 will do! We’ve all heard stories of incredible finds at the local thrift store, so it’s definitely worth a shot. Even if you don’t find anything mind-blowing, you’ll still get a few hours of fun!

Liven Things Up

While $5 won’t get you far in terms of redecorating your home, you can still change things up a bit. Get a can of paint and refresh your favorite reading chair or window frames. Use any leftover paint for a few cabinets or drawers. This way, you’ll get a nice pop of color! You can also use your $5 to get a new rug or curtains to get your room looking fresh.

Save It

Have you ever heard someone say, “Never spend a $5 bill”? Apparently, it’s a thing. Some people even make a New Year’s resolution not to spend any fivers and keep saving them instead. The amount saved slowly adds up, and they can treat themselves to something really nice at the end of the year!

Treat Your Kids

There’s no greater joy than watching children run around a store to get something for themselves. Visit the nearest dollar tree, give them a dollar or two, and watch them go! Pick up a thing or two if there’s any money left. Silly string, slinkies, boomerangs, chalks – all of these are great ideas. Once you get home, you can spend hours playing!

Do Something Nice

Finally, you can always do something nice for someone else. Although $5 isn’t much, it can mean the world to someone and really make their day. If you feel like it, get some flowers or candy for someone who’s having a bad day or a gift card for a loved one so they can treat themselves. Or get some gas in your friend’s tank – it might be worth more than you can imagine!

Final Thoughts

We bet you didn’t know you could do so much with $5, did you? It’s easy to think you need loads of money to have fun, especially when prices keep rising. However, that’s far from the truth. You can squeeze a lot from $5, make someone’s day, or create a lasting memory with your loved ones.

If you got those $5 for doing absolutely nothing, then it’s even sweeter! What’s the easiest way to make $5 without any effort? Join Pawns.app, of course! Click the link below, and we’ll throw in a $1 starting bonus to get you there faster!
