I’m thinking about things like free museums Sundays or times to get specific things (e.g. candies after Halloween as they are on discount)

Something a lot of people especially new parents forget about are your local libraries.

I purchased too many books even second hand instead of using my library that has an amazing kids section. Tons of audio books and ebooks with apps for your phone/tablet.

Even with no kids it’s still an amazing place and resource.

Piggy backing off of this comment. Most libraries offer more than just books. CDs and digital music aside, they also check out things. My library has a telescope that can be checked out for free as well as state parks and aquarium passes. Another one has a 3d printer available that lets you print at 10cents per minute. Libraries are incredible.

Some libraries have museum passes that you can borrow.

there’s also the app Libby where you can put in your library cards and get books and audiobooks on your phone!
