Have you checked out what's going on in your neighborhood or city? There's good times to be had and few dollars spent on small-scale events nearby. First, you may be able to walk and save on gas, but a neighborhood event is certainly going to save miles on the car over a drive to a more traditional event. Your city may be sponsoring events for families that you are missing out on. Start hunting on the Internet and actually looking through those leaflets sent from your city. Even neighborhood garage sales are something to keep the family busy and doesn't require much money spent. You can set the limits even before setting foot out the door. You can go on a hunt for something of need, or give each family member a small set amount and let them decide how to spend it. Whatever the event or the small amount you may spend, if your family is spending time together enjoying new adventures, a good time will be had- for less.
May I also add that if you think nothing is happening near you, that you get the ball moving. Rally up a neighborhood bbq, garage sale, bake sale, or carnival! You can even do the event to raise funds for a great cause.
