We like weekends to be a fun time for our children. It’s the two days they get to spend the most time with us and we make that time count by intentionally planning activities where we are spending time together.
I’m not one to break the bank when planning fun activities for the family. In fact, I try to make it as frugal as possible.
Planning a movie night with your family is really fun and it’s really inexpensive it can be as inexpensive as a dollar or as expensive as you decide to make it just depending on what type of activities you want to incorporate in your movie night.
Our movie night normally consists of one or more movies, a few snacks snacks and a meal. The budget for this is usually around $30 for a family of five.
