In our household we’re always looking for frugal (and sustainable!) family fun, so I’ve had a few posts on the topic. But on the eve of a long holiday weekend with virtually no firm plans, here are some ideas I’ve been toying with:

• Visit local kiddie amusement park with free petting zoo
• Create a worm bin
• Backyard play date
• Plant seeds in the garden
• Take a Portland Hill Walk
• Help out at a new CSA farm around the corner
• Relax, follow kids’ lead and just enjoy the moment

Personally, I think we adults often over-think things. The key is to keep things simple, take it outside and enjoy some time together.


I also sign up for a weekly email that includes inexpensive events around town. I wasn’t surprised to find another great blog on  Frugal Family Fun . 


What are your family’s favorite ways to have frugal fun?
