We love spending time together as a family, it’s fun to enjoy some quality time together, but with a large family it’s not always cheap! Here are some of the things we do to enjoy MORE family fun that is also frugal too!
We Take Advantage of FREE Store Events – We have headed to Home Depot or Lowe’s to make their FREE projects they offer each month. We plan on heading to the Lego Store in April for their FREE build event. We even had the opportunity to meet some Star Wars characters at Pottery Barn Kids once! You can find so many fun free events put on by businesses around you, you just need to know where to look. Most of these events are not only free, but they are also fun and sometimes even educational.
We Enjoy Art Projects – I am a big fan of art supplies!! You can get so much enjoyment with simple art supplies. The great thing is that you can often pick up the supplies for super cheap. We always pick up extra supplies in July and August when they have the back to school sales. The watercolors that my son used cost me only $ .25. There were hours worth of enjoyment from that one small quarter I spent!
We go Geocaching – Our family loves to go out on a Saturday afternoon for some Geocaching. It’s fun for everyone involved from the youngest to the oldest, they all love it. There is no cost involved, because we were able to download a FREE Geo-Caching app to our iPhone.
We Bake Something – Making things in the kitchen is a super frugal way to spend some quality time together as a family. Plus, there’s a bonus! When you are done, you get to eat what you made! Food and fun, it doesn’t get much better than that!
Speaking of Food and Fun – Tony’s Pizza is giving you “99 Days of More“! When you go to www.Tonys99DaysOfMore.com you can enter to win a $500 Visa Gift Card – they are giving one away every day!
