Cheap Ideas for Summer Fun
When it comes to keeping the kids happy and busy during the summer holidays, many parents get worried about the costs involved and how much work it's going to take to keep everyone entertained. Signing the kids up to summer activities might be the easy option for you, but the costs quickly mount up to a significant amount. When you're planning the summer schedule, try to think of every area in which you can save money. When the budget is tight all you need to do is keep a tight check on where you are spending money, and taking the kids out is no different.
If you're planning on going out for the day as a family, why not take a look for special deals on the train? Most railway networks offer special family deals in the summer whereby the kids travel for free. If you take a trip to the local station, you might also find leaflets advertising discount entry tickets to attractions in association with your travel ticket. This provides a great opportunity to take everyone out without having to break the bank.
The costs of eating on a day out can also add up quite quickly. Avoid this by taking a packed lunch or a picnic lunch that you can make yourself with food from the supermarket. Picnics can be great fun for everyone, so I doubt that anyone will end up feeling disappointed.
More ideas for cheap days out could include taking a trip to the local animal rescue centre. It's much cheaper than a day out at the zoo, and most animal charities welcome help from the public. You could consider getting in touch and finding out if they have any dogs that you could take for a walk? If you want to keep things really simple then how about going out for a long walk somewhere?
Just remember that fun doesn't have to mean expensive. If you can be a little bit creative with your activity planning, then you should be able to save quite a bit of money this summer.
