I realized at the end of our day today that we had only spent $9.00 and I could hardly believe it. How did we spend 2 hours at Chuck E Cheese, leave with lots of prizes and Ice cream, go visit a farm for an hour where we got to pet animals, feed a horse, collect fresh eggs from the coop, and get muddy!! ;)
Here is how.....
We eat a lot of string cheese in our house. There are a lot of brands to choose from. But, only one cost less than $3 and includes $3 worth of tokens at Chuck E Cheese!! Yes, Chuck E Cheese has his own brand of string cheese. Here is the back of the package...
Weird right? Anyway, we brought four of those with us today and got 48 free tokens! Since we were the first ones there, we got to keep all the strings of tickets hanging out of every game after they tested each of them for the day! Bonus! Before leaving, we collected our loot and bought some ice cream from the machine for $1.50 each. Two hours into the day, our total was $3.00!
After that, we went to this new fresh egg connection I found and spent an hour on the farm! The kids got to put on boots and run through the mud, search for eggs, pet the animals, and feed the horses. We left with two dozen eggs at $3 a dozen, totaling $6.00 for the farm. We came home, took a bath, took a nap, and had a morning full of memories (and a fridge fill of eggs) for $9.00! Not too shabby!
Let me know what your favorite family day on the cheap ideas are!!!
