Times are tough and most of us are tightening our belts. Generally, what that means is less socialising and entertaining. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Insider Secrets reveals four practical ideas today so you can keep entertaining your friends on a shoestring budget...

Idea # 1: Host a luxurious spa day at home...
Whip up some spa treatments using inexpensive ingredients from your pantry like oatmeal, honey and avocado. Enjoy a glass of wine, a slice of cake and some good conversation while you treat each other to a relaxing facial, manicure and foot soak.

Idea # 2: Swap dinner for breakfast...
Dinner is an expensive meal to prepare, generally consisting of two to three courses plus the wine... To keep costs down and still impress your friends, invite them over for breakfast or brunch instead. Serve a delicious English breakfast with orange juice and freshly brewed coffee. You could spend up to 75% less by just swapping your entertainment schedule from night to day!

Idea # 3: Host a tasting party...
This is where your guests all bring a taster of something for everyone to enjoy. For example, a wine tasting evening... Or an international dish evening (great idea for a World Cup get together)... Or a pastry tea party...

Idea # 4: Invite your friends over for a games night...
Bring out the board games and the deck of cards for a fun games evening. Keep catering simple (and inexpensive) with a couple of vegetables and dips, sausage rolls and nachos...
