Introduction
Family time is really important, and I think it’s important to make the most of it. But sometimes, it can be hard to find things that everyone in your family will enjoy doing together without spending a lot of money. This post will show you some great ideas for spending time with your family without going broke!
Visit a park and take a walk, bring some snacks!

- Enjoy the outdoors.
Host a movie night on a Friday or Saturday night, pop the popcorn and get the kids in their pajamas.
Host a movie night on a Friday or Saturday night, pop the popcorn and get the kids in their pajamas. Your wallet will thank you for this one! Popcorn is a cheap, healthy snack that is easy to make in any quantity you need. You can even make it at home with just a few ingredients! The microwave is one of my favorite methods for making popcorn because it’s fast, easy and doesn’t take much cleanup either (just clean out your bowl). If you want to go old school, then use an air popper or stovetop method instead.
Clean up around the house, work together to make your home neat and clean.
Cleaning your home together is a great way to spend time together as a family. It can be hard to do, but if you all work together, it will be much easier. You can put on some music and dance or just sing along with each other while you clean. You can have some fun playing cleaning games like hide-and-seek in the house or looking for things that belong in certain rooms of your home.
You may even find yourself having fun making up silly songs about what you are doing as an activity to pass the time and make cleaning seem more enjoyable!
Involvement in baking or cooking will help you and your family spend fun time together, you can try new recipes.
If you’re looking for an activity that will involve your whole family and won’t break the bank, consider baking or cooking. Cooking is a great way to spend time together—it’s something everyone can do, and there are so many different recipes to try. Eating good food is also important for your health and well-being, especially if you have kids who need guidance with healthy eating habits!
If you don’t have much experience in the kitchen but want to start baking more often then I recommend reading some cookbooks on baking before trying out any recipes.
Get out and do something active! Go to a local fitness class as a family.
- Get out and do something active! Going to a local fitness class as a family is a great way to get some exercise together. There are tons of options, from barre and yoga classes to cardio kickboxing and boot camp. You can find these classes on Groupon or Yelp, which will help you find local businesses that offer them for cheap prices. At the very least, check if there are any gyms in your area that offer kids’ programs (and if so sign up for it!).
- Wear comfortable clothing that’s appropriate for the activity level of the class (i.e., don’t wear heels if you’re going to barre). Also bring water bottles, snacks—whatever makes sense based on what type of workout you’re having!
Family time doesn’t have to be expensive.
You don’t have to spend money to have fun with your family. There are many free things that families can do together, and this post will provide a few ideas for those of you who want to find some ways of passing the time without spending a single dollar.
If you’re looking for activities that don’t cost anything at all, here are 5 suggestions:
- Go on a nature walk in your backyard
- Make homemade slime! It’s super easy, inexpensive (you probably already have most of the ingredients), and fun!
- Play board games or cards with each other while sitting around the kitchen table after dinner—it’s a classic way to bond as well as get rid of some tension before bedtime! If playing cards isn’t your thing, try something more visually stimulating like Uno or Apples-to-Apples instead; these games require less strategy and more creativity while still being fun (and they’ll keep everyone involved).
Conclusion
We hope these ideas have helped you see that family time doesn’t have to be expensive! Spending time together can be as simple or elaborate as your budget allows and still be fun. The key is to remember that there’s no right way or wrong way when it comes down to making memories with those you love most—all that matters is that you’re having fun doing it.
