Gathering and “gambling” can be quite enjoyable and not really need to have money involved! Such activity is called BINGO!
My form of bingo is unique. Maybe I can teach you to do the same.
We gather at a cafe where I used to work. We play for donated items (prizes). Different people donate the prizes and even bingo participants such as myself bring in items. For example, I recently donated a gently used pair of New Balance sneakers. I never wore the sneakers but had bought the sneakers from a Salvation Army thrift store.
This past week, I personally won 2 boxes of Panera Bread k-cups!
You are allowed to play with 2 cards.
We are allowed 3 bingos. Once you have had your 3 bingos, you can choose your prizes. You can then play for a coverall, in other words, until a person’s card is filled up first. That person is allowed a 4th prize.
Then, if you gather at a nice place in the community, such as a cafe, you can have coffee and/or lunch together. I bring my own drinks and pack my own lunch. If I wouldn’t, all of those cafe loaded nachos and sugary soft drinks would accumulate on my belly and on my wallet too!

How is this self-help you ask?
There are so many healthy activities that you would like to do but cannot as cost too much. Bingo gets out the stress that has been building up. Sure, I have heard people make fun but I do not care. Unless you want to donate, bingo our way doesn’t cost a penny. Can’t afford lunch? Pack your own!
It really is nice to be blessed every so often. Quite often a donation is mysterious. The prize shows up on the bingo table but people have no clue who and how. For example, a good friend of mine is the bingo caller. When I spotted the Panera Bread k-cups, I asked her where they came from. She said maybe another friend of our’s did but she didn’t know. So, I asked our other friend and she said that she didn’t! See how this can be exciting?
Then, there is a serious bingo member that I love to bless. She loves coffee too, right? So, a few months ago, I had a bottle of Jordan’s Skinny Syrup vanilla. I was tired of vanilla. So, I placed the bottle on the prize table before she arrived. Yep! She grabbed the bottle with her 1st bingo!
You become friends! You let out stress! You can put food and/or drink on the table and a ton of other things! It’s free!
All that you need to purchase is a bingo game set from your local toy store and a place to hold the bingo game!
C’mon!
Self help and enjoyable when you are not on the loosing side.
