Tip Tuesday: Have a Family Fun Day on the Cheap

Let's face it; this economy is tough on everyone right now. Even so, we still want to provide our family with a day of fun without breaking the bank. How do we accomplish this? Check with your local library. Many libraries offer free passes to local attractions such as museums and other places of interest in the area. This could help you save big, especially on gas/travel expenses because it's in your own town. Save a little more by packing your own lunch, snacks and drinks and use a little bit of spending money at the gift shop for the kiddos instead of those expensive food carts.

Just be sure to plan your trip ahead of time and check with your library on how many free passes you are eligible for. Know that if they offer free admission of 4 per family and you have a family of 5, then you will have to pay for 1 ticket.

Extra Tip: If you have one or more extra people, use the free passes on the adults (check the rules and exclusions on your particular pass) and pay for the children's tickets if you can. Generally speaking, a child's ticket is usually cheaper than an adult ticket.

I hope this Tip Tuesday has been helpful.
