I have really started watching our money since Chris will be loosing almost half of his pay since they are cutting out bonus'. So I have been trying to figure out cheaper ways to do fun things with the kids. So this weekend I tried to make it a fun filled weekend on a very tight budget so here was the results:
Friday night I took Adriana and Andrew ice skating at the Rec Plex-total price $0 (we have a membership there for cheap since I work there and we all have our own ice skates which I also got an amazing deal on!!!!)
Saturday we went to see Playhouse Disney Live-although I had to buy those tickets before (I actually paid for them before we found out about his bonus) we didn't spend any money there. We just brought our light up toys from previous shows and brought in our own food so our total price was $0.
Sunday I took Adriana and Andrew to see the movie Bolt at the dollar show-my total out of pocket $5. Adriana and Andrew paid for themselves with money they have been saving up and I just had to pay $1 for myself to get in. Earlier this morning I went to Walgreens to buy a paper and scored two free candy bars from my coupons so we took those with us. I just spent $4 for a soda for us to share with unlimited free refills.
So we were able to have an amazingly fun weekend with only $5 out of pocket and a little gas for the driving! Now if I can just keep finding cheap fun things to do we will be good to go!!!
