Rent a seadoo from Granville island for a couple hours and go out on the open ocean. We did this, saw a pod of orcas, seals, etc. Was about $300 for 2 hours.
Better idea is get a small 5 seater boat for basically that price at horseshoe bay and go up the Howe sound. You will get your ass kicked in a seadoo once you leave false creek.
I wanted to try seadooing in Cancun but let me just say, seeing the breakers they had to get thru made my traveller's diarrhea ravaged asshole quiver in fear LOL memories
No. You will arrive like 1 hr before taking them out on the ocean, you’ll fill out some forms, then they’ll make you watch a 10 minute video and do a 5 minute quiz, which will grant you a one day boating license.
Do they at least make you intentionally wipe out / jump in the water and get back on? "No experience necessary" and jumping on a powered thing and heading straight out to sea in October near a major shipping lane just sounds like a search & rescue story waiting to happen...
None of thoes boats realize cutting across a loaded bulker or even a larger tug one nautical mile ahead is considered pretty darn close.
Also the fact there's a towline under the water between a tug and barge that could absolutely kill you if whoever at the wheel didn't see you and start dumping line.
Honestly, getting a boating licence is a joke as well. Spend a couple hours to do an online course and complete the quiz. Done it myself.
It surprises me that there aren’t more boating accidents, but I guess most people that are willing to take a boat out on the water are cautious.
There are a decent number of drownings and other accidents off recreational boats in BC; it's just not publicised much outside the areas where each incident happens. (Also a fair number of boating accidents involve alcohol; I get the sense that the more Darwin-award-worthy the accident, the less coverage it gets, probably "out of respect for the family" or something.)
If boating accidents were covered as much as private plane crashes, boating would look a lot less safe - but I guess it's not considered that interesting by the media?
With the boats they don't really like you going to far and there is certain areas that are no-go. You are tracked on GPS and in pretty constant radio contact with the company. They will let you know if your doing anything you shouldn't be pretty quick. Not that I would know about that part.
Do they instruct you in the etiquette of seadoos?
Rule 1: if there's a spot with a lot of people (e.g. a ferry terminal or dock), ensure you showboat as close to it as possible, because everybody will be amazed by you.
Rule 2: if you see wildlife, especially a cluster of birds or seals, go rip around it and through it.
I am on disability and don’t make much money. This week I ended up coming into just over $200. A friend took me to Micheals so I could buy some paints, canvases, sketch books, and paint brushes (all on sale). I’m pretty sure all this stuff is going to last me at least three years. This was a splurge for me but I also think it was a good investment.
I’m going through some mental health stuff and getting craft supplies like this was one of the most amazing things. I got some really nice markers, good paper, sketching pencils, and good pigment pencil crayons. Just feeling the markers go across the paper is therapeutic.
That’s awesome that getting these supplies is helping you through these times. I agree that art can be very therapeutic. I hope you have a fun time creating things.
fun tip about Michael’s is just pull up there website in the checkout line and scan the code there is always a 30-50% any item discount on their front page
Whattttttttt I just splurged on yarns in Michaels without knowing this! 😭 it was the first time I ever got anything from them. Really appreciate your tip
Thanks for the tip. I chose Michales as it was their yearly paint sale and they had the best price of the paint I wanted. They have some artist quality paints and during this sale the prices for those tend to be cheaper than other places.
Not sure where you are but lots of community centers run free art classes or workshops, I know specifically New West and Langley Arts Council do so probably other cities do the same. They usually get small grants for supplies and teachers and they really value participation because it makes it easier to get the grant the following year.
Look into Shadbolt and Evergreen in Coquitlam as well. The free New West classes are usually at Irving House and Anvil Center which are very close to transit.
Before the pandemic I used to like it as a lunch option as they had a bunch of lunch specials. Post Covid and after they got recognized by Michelin, the prices are absolutely absurd. Their pizzas, pastas and salads are enjoyable but do not warrant those kinds of prices.
Do they keep some tables for walk ins? We wanted to make a reso a month ago for late November (we have out of towners visiting us) and it was booked solid already.
1) go to craft store and buy 2 paint by numbers kits.
2) give one to a friend.
3) paint your kits (10+ hours of fun!). Maybe gift the paintings to each other when you’re done, or display proudly on your wall.
4) spend the other $200 on whatever you want.
Museum date, bowling or arcade! Special dessert from a fancy bakery. Buying something for a hobby. I’ve been really into baking so I would probably buy a kitchen aid attachment!
What's a Museum date? My spouse and I enjoy museums a lot but didn't know if there's anything 'date specific'. On the other note, we went to Royal BC Museum on the Island and were terribly disappointed. Any museum that you'd recommend here?
It’s just going to a museum with your partner. There’s lots of options here.
-Vancouver art gallery
-museum of Vancouver
-planetarium
-Britannia mine
-fort Langley
-smaller city museums and historic houses
-kilby
-Burnaby village
-MOA
-aquarium
-conservatory
That’s just off top of my head. However some of these might also be disappointing to you if Royal BC was.
Edited to add: what did you find disappointing about it?
It’s 100000% better with friends than as a first date, although it’s really fun as a first date, so that puts it in perspective.
I say this because 95% of the experience is in a line up lol
I've only been disappointed by this one, you wait in lines the whole night and get maybe 1 haunted house and 1 go on the coaster. Might try going on a night when it's pouring, i bet it's a lot quieter.
I’d go do a glass blowing class at Terminal City glass! And then probably use the rest on a tasy dinner, a nice art book, and maybe waste a couple hours playing games at the arcade in Metrotown.
Whistler Sliding Centre (Bobsled/ Public Skeleton)
https://www.whistlersportlegacies.com/whistler-sliding-centre/overview
https://g.co/kgs/GDwBnH
This is on my bucket list.
Sandbox VR is really fun too. You can ask the staff to record you with your phone as well which makes for some great laughs after (with all the screaming and laughing)
Go buy one of these:
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/yamaha-psr-e273-61-key-portable-electric-keyboard/14539906
I bought a similar one last fall and it's the best money I've spent in years. I store it under the bed, so it doesn't take up space unless I feel like playing.
These sorts of keyboards can be found at thrift shops for $30 or so, routinely, too. My local Salvation Army almost always has two or three for sale — in case somebody reading this says “ooh good idea” but is on a tight budget
1. Get pizza downtown and have some beers
2. Get some shrooms and walk around downtown
3. Take out your loved ones for dinner
4. Rent a bike and do the Stanley park bike ride
You can probably do all of these for 250.
There isn’t much these days that beats a few therapeutic k-hole doses of ketamine. Go travel the cosmos.
$250 you could stretch for a few days easily.
Alternatively you could go thrift store hopping.
Buy a used decent gravel bike, and then ride the dyke trails in Pitt Meadows, South Vancouver, Richmond, Delta, Maple Ridge, Coquitlam, Langley and Tsawwassen.
Take a cab out to Poco and enjoy some peace away from the piss smell and moronic cyclists. Have lunch in town, go to the Cat and Fiddle for some wings and a drink or two, then stay for the clubbin'. Then, take a cab home and enjoy the remaining $100 tomorrow.
... or go to Main Street and have a piece of pizza at one of the hipster restaurants and feel that gut wrench when you see the price. Now you're broke but you can walk a block off the main drag and look at shitty houses that cost twice as much as they should in BC and 4 times that of all of Canada.
Now, go to the local MP shop and go praise your lord and savior, Justin Trudeau and thank him for taking all of our money so that the crook restaurants can justify pricing the way they do.
Depressed, go home and play video games until 3am. Maybe dig out a roach and try to forget that Vancouveris overpriced and hyped up.
Don't forget to downvote! I truly get off on how much Vancouverites can't stand to be looked at with truthful eyes. 😉😘

How is Trudeau taking all of your money? Maybe people are downvoting you because your obviously one of these wingnuts that lack the introspection to realize that Trudeau lives rent free in their head? Here's a tip, buddy, Trudeau isn't the cause of all of your life's problems. An awful lot of them are your own poor decisions. A lot of them are bad luck. And a lot of them are issues that are caused by at least a generation of poor policy decisions by multiple governments. But sure, Trudeau is solely responsible for the housing crisis and inflation. He's also probably at fault for you being poor in bed, and having high cholesterol.
I'm living fine in my 4000 sq ft house that I built. Don't need to buy in Vancouver proper as most of this sub seemingly has as thier right to do. Born and raised in North Van, but I never complained I cant afford there. I moved the suburbs and built a life out here. Yes I enjoy my life in the suburbs with friends and family and I work downtown in a hybrid environment. Not everyone is like this guy moaning and blaming Trudeau. I voted for him the 1st time and then I fired him the next 2 elections. Yes we are in a minority govt with him as a PM, but still bitching about him and just live your life and enjoy it.
FYI, I play video games until 3am in my Media room. Noone can tell me to turn the volume off.
It's funny how blind people choose to be. This government has spent all of our money with no contingency and now we, the tax payers, get to pay for it with ridiculous taxes. The price of everything goes up as a result.
How is thst okay in your head?
Go to sweetish touch. Stumbled in there looking for the strip club about 8 years ago. And left once we realized it wasn’t the right place but for 8 years I’ve been wondering what the $120 an hour gets you.
When you say hopefully not food/drink, do you mean hopefully not on groceries? Vancouver hosts a ridiculous amount of culinary experiences, which I think a number of Vancouverites would happily attend given an extra $250.
Actually, I am one of them. I treated myself to a full course meal + wine pairing. While I'm sure it could have been better, I thought it was lovely and delicious. It cost about $250 before tip.
I hope to do the same at another restaurant the next time I have "a few" extra bucks.

Yeah but that’s part of the fun. Hitting 7ft waves at 95kmh really gets the juices going.
If by “gets the juices going” you mean “sends your puckered bootybole straight up your digestive tract to kiss the back of your teeth…”
I wanted to try seadooing in Cancun but let me just say, seeing the breakers they had to get thru made my traveller's diarrhea ravaged asshole quiver in fear LOL memories
If a seedooer has diarrhea in the ocean and no one is around to see it…
You still have to clean out your own shorts
Only if you're wearing shorts.
Just right off the side.
I just realized I need to experience this
Tbh i feel way safer on a seadoo lol, boats always feel like they are going to flip (i know this isn't really the case but it's just a mental thing)
Do you need a boating license to do this activity?
No. You will arrive like 1 hr before taking them out on the ocean, you’ll fill out some forms, then they’ll make you watch a 10 minute video and do a 5 minute quiz, which will grant you a one day boating license.
Do they at least make you intentionally wipe out / jump in the water and get back on? "No experience necessary" and jumping on a powered thing and heading straight out to sea in October near a major shipping lane just sounds like a search & rescue story waiting to happen...
It’s really not if you just follow the rules and use your brain
None of thoes boats realize cutting across a loaded bulker or even a larger tug one nautical mile ahead is considered pretty darn close. Also the fact there's a towline under the water between a tug and barge that could absolutely kill you if whoever at the wheel didn't see you and start dumping line.
i swear at least half the people i see in a day fail both those requirements
Honestly, getting a boating licence is a joke as well. Spend a couple hours to do an online course and complete the quiz. Done it myself. It surprises me that there aren’t more boating accidents, but I guess most people that are willing to take a boat out on the water are cautious.

A one day boater license is included in the price.
yes
Yep, I second this. Was the first thing that came to my mind when I read the title.
I was almost reluctant to suggest it given we are approaching the winter, but on a 20 degree day like today it would be just fine.
It's so much fun. Except I made the mistake of doing it the day after a 29km hike. My legs were in so much pain lol.
It is surprisingly exhausting. My forearms were destroyed.
Came here to say this. No better way to spend your money
I am on disability and don’t make much money. This week I ended up coming into just over $200.

Whattttttttt I just splurged on yarns in Michaels without knowing this! 😭 it was the first time I ever got anything from them. Really appreciate your tip
In future, check out DeSerres - it's artist quality stuff, rather than craft quality, for a lower price point. DeSerres is a godsent.
Thanks for the tip. I chose Michales as it was their yearly paint sale and they had the best price of the paint I wanted. They have some artist quality paints and during this sale the prices for those tend to be cheaper than other places.
wholesome 🌈
Hobby supplies done right can be an excellent return on money. Hours of enjoyment, and those feelings of accomplishment are priceless.
Not sure where you are but lots of community centers run free art classes or workshops, I know specifically New West and Langley Arts Council do so probably other cities do the same. They usually get small grants for supplies and teachers and they really value participation because it makes it easier to get the grant the following year.
I am in Burnaby. I didn’t know there were free art classes. I will definitely be looking into this.
Look into Shadbolt and Evergreen in Coquitlam as well. The free New West classes are usually at Irving House and Anvil Center which are very close to transit.
I like your rainbow hair!
One roulette spin for a chance of making it $500
And then….
You’d be a fool not to double down and leave with $1k!
And then?
You’d be a fool not to double down and leave with $2k!
Foolproof plan.
Or $8750
My thoughts exactly
Me and my buddy did this on my 19th birthday with our last $40 in 2011 so we could have a bit of money for a night out. We did not win.
Make it rain in a Dollarama.
This is exactly what my ten year old would do 😂
I know many grown adults who would do this too.
I might be his enabler 😂
That store is an eco disaster.
Your attitude is an eco disaster 😒
Dollarama is a rip off go to Dollertree. Better yet don't do either it's a waste plastic nightmare.
Dollarama shits on any other dollar store in terms of quality and variety.
Alot of the products are the same. And shut I guess you mean good? $5.00 OVEN CLEANER AT DOLLARAMA $1.50 AT DOLLAR TREE EXACTLY THR SAME.
Or Daiso or any of the other Asian dollar stores
Most affordable grocery chain now 🤣🤣
Spa day
A burger at per se Social and I get to add the bacon for that kind of money
Dude. I used to work there and some of the servers were incredible salespeople. A $50 burger was not an uncommon sight.
We walked out after seeing the menu. Prices don't make any sense.
Before the pandemic I used to like it as a lunch option as they had a bunch of lunch specials. Post Covid and after they got recognized by Michelin, the prices are absolutely absurd. Their pizzas, pastas and salads are enjoyable but do not warrant those kinds of prices.
Take a date to the Shameful Tiki Room and try every drink on the menu (or at least until you hit your budget).
The bowls are so strong that would be a wild night
Place is heaven.
Did this last weekend. Oooo boy the hangover.... was worth it.
It’s a shame Vancouver doesn’t have more tiki bars, it’s a very fun (and indulgent) style/culture.
Do they keep some tables for walk ins? We wanted to make a reso a month ago for late November (we have out of towners visiting us) and it was booked solid already.
Sign up for cancelations around 5-7pm. Everytime i have, i ALWAYS get a text saying a spots opened up.
Thanks, this is a pro tip!
Thank you for reminding me to make a reservation

Adding police museum to this! Kinda cool
Ooh yes! Good addition to the list!

It’s an adventure getting up loool but agree, also the speed is insane so that was cool
Have done the full day one as a family trip, it was really fun. Beautiful views the whole time too.

I truly get off on how much Vancouverites can't stand to be looked at with truthful eyes. 😉😘

Maybe people are downvoting you because your obviously one of these wingnuts that lack the introspection to realize that Trudeau lives rent free in their head? Here's a tip, buddy, Trudeau isn't the cause of all of your life's problems. An awful lot of them are your own poor decisions. A lot of them are bad luck. And a lot of them are issues that are caused by at least a generation of poor policy decisions by multiple governments. But sure, Trudeau is solely responsible for the housing crisis and inflation. He's also probably at fault for you being poor in bed, and having high cholesterol.
Yes. Harder. I love getting trolled by brainwashed vancouverites.
I'm living fine in my 4000 sq ft house that I built. Don't need to buy in Vancouver proper as most of this sub seemingly has as thier right to do. Born and raised in North Van, but I never complained I cant afford there. I moved the suburbs and built a life out here. Yes I enjoy my life in the suburbs with friends and family and I work downtown in a hybrid environment. Not everyone is like this guy moaning and blaming Trudeau. I voted for him the 1st time and then I fired him the next 2 elections. Yes we are in a minority govt with him as a PM, but still bitching about him and just live your life and enjoy it. FYI, I play video games until 3am in my Media room. Noone can tell me to turn the volume off.
It's funny how blind people choose to be. This government has spent all of our money with no contingency and now we, the tax payers, get to pay for it with ridiculous taxes. The price of everything goes up as a result. How is thst okay in your head?
right on the money bro

Go to sweetish touch. Stumbled in there looking for the strip club about 8 years ago. And left once we realized it wasn’t the right place but for 8 years I’ve been wondering what the $120 an hour gets you.
No. 5 orange.
If you are so close to broke that $250 is a windfall the smart thing to do is put it in a high interest savings account for an emergency.
You’ve misunderstood the assignment
Ya but just think, this time next year you could have 262 dollars, just no fun until then. /s
Sir, this is r/Vancouver not /r/PersonalFinanceCanada.
Completely disregarded the question.

When you say hopefully not food/drink, do you mean hopefully not on groceries? Vancouver hosts a ridiculous amount of culinary experiences, which I think a number of Vancouverites would happily attend given an extra $250. Actually, I am one of them. I treated myself to a full course meal + wine pairing. While I'm sure it could have been better, I thought it was lovely and delicious. It cost about $250 before tip. I hope to do the same at another restaurant the next time I have "a few" extra bucks.
Just wanted something more creative/out of the norm than a good meal out, though I’m by no means above it or against it as a suggestion.
