How to Save Money on Spring Break Staycations

No Comments 820 views

  • Look on your city and neighboring cities website for events going on. Most likely there will be a few FREE events that you can go to.
  • Go to your local library and see what activities they have going on. Our local library even has a calendar set out so we can play our spring break week with activities they have going on.
  • Check websites and social media for deals on food at local restaurants. Mostly likely they know that it’s spring break and they will be offering deals for those that are still around.
  • Make a budget for the week so you know what you can splurge on and what you want to pass on. This helps when deciding what to do for the week.
  • Check your local movie theatres for their discounted days and go then!
  • Bring your own food from home when you go out for the day. Save that money on fast food to go to a fun restaurant for the week (using a deal of course!).

    Easter is coming in a few short weeks. Some of you may do the traditional Easter baskets filled with candy and fun toys. Over the past years, I’ve come to the conclusion my kids don’t need more candy. Every holiday includes some sort of treat and it’s just too much! For Easter I try and do some fun outdoor toys, books, and new spring clothing. If you need more ideas of non-candy Easter basket fillers, here they are. I love buying my items at Target, Walmart or Amazon. If you want to shop and snag a cute spring outfit then check out your local Burlington, I love their clothing sets.

Now that she is an adult and my boys are rapidly catching up to her, I am having so much fun making DIY Easter baskets with more grown up items.  READ MORE »

    Is your car a giant mess? I swear by the end of the week filled with driving my kids all over the place, my car gets messy! Like seriously, messy. I used to drive through the car wash often, but let’s face it, that really is a waste of money.
