10 Ways to Celebrate Cinco de Mayo on a Budget
Fun things you can do on Cinco de Mayo that won't break the bank.
1) Learn Spanish
Expand your horizons from the comfort of your own couch.
3) Take a virtual trip to Mexico (in the World Book encyclopedia)
Fun and educational!!
5) Eat nachos til you puke
According to the Nacho Historian, Frank Lopez, Nachos were invented by Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya in 1943 in Piedras Negras, Mexico when a bunch of Gringos visited El Club de Victory, demanding delicious Mexican cuisine as well as beverage.

6) Wear a mustache for a day
Why? Because it’s fun.
Which mustache style are you?
Every man (and sometimes woman) has their own mustache style befitting to their personality. For Cinco de Mayo, El Guapo recommends the “major” or the “Gringo”
For more options, check out El Guapo’s Mustache Guide below!!!
Perhaps you will go with a Larry Bird Blond Invisistache or perhaps the Ravishing Rick Rude Crotch stache is more your style.

7) Go to the Donkey Show

10) Finish off the night with baby-free sex
In 1951, Mexican chemist Luis Miramontes, then a college student invented the birth control pill. Odelay!
No Partner?
No problem. Not only did Mexican, Guillermo González Camarena invent the first color television system 1942, future Mexicans invented Telemundo which is the perfect companion for lonely nights as well as all your meteorologic needs
2) Immerse yourself in Mexican Art and Literature
Once you have mastered the Rosetta Stone Spanish Levels one and two, you are fully prepared to watch and understand Mexican documentaries

4) Adopt a Spanish Sounding Name
adopt a Spanish sounding name for the day like Carmen San Diego or Roberto Thompson.
Insist that your friends call you by this adopted name all day.
WARNING to unsuspecting tourists looking for an AWESOME Mexican cultural adventure — Chicago’s N.A.C.H.O. History Museum has NOTHING to do with actual nachos. I found out the hard way.
It’s a stupid culinary center What a crock of shit!!! I call it the the C.R.O.C.K. O.F. S.H.I.T. Museum. Why? Because it’s a crock of shit.
Me Eating Nachos
No Cinco de Mayo celebration is complete without artificial cheese sauce and canned jalepenos.
These Nachos were pretty good because of the dual cheese dipping sauce containers. (most ballpark nachos only have ONE cheese dipping sauce container, leaving you angry and your chips under saucified)
Sometimes mustaches make you look like a douche
or in this case, a bigger douche.
El Guapo says this costume sucks. The Mustache is too big, the sombrero too small and the donkey appears very uninterested in the whole charade.
