Hello Lovely Savers!
Easter is right around the corner, this year on my birthday! Whether you celebrate the holiday or just need some inexpensive ideas for Spring, this post is for you! Here are my top 5 suggestions for saving money this Easter:
- Thrift those Easter Outfits! Shopping at places like Goodwill or other local thrift stores is a great way to save on the nice outfits you’ll want your family in this Easter. Let’s be honest, kids outgrow clothes faster than you can tie their shoelaces, so saving some money on some recycled clothing is totally acceptable. Especially clothing they will wear literally one time. That onesie that says “1st Easter” only works once and definitely would not fit them again even if you tried. I found a beautiful spring dress at my local Goodwill for $4.99 and I am so excited to wear it on my birthday! Check out my Youtube channel this Monday, for the first episode of “Dress to Impress- For Less!” for more tips on saving while shopping!
- Coloring Eggs to Serve Multiple Purposes. Growing up my mom would boil tons of eggs and my brothers and I would sit around the kitchen table and fight over who could color which eggs blue (for the record, my little brother was a total blue hog). Then the “Easter Bunny” would hide our works of art around the house and in the morning we would run around the house trying to collect the most (for another record, I always won). THEN we helped peel said beautiful colored eggs and my mom would make a giant plate of deviled eggs for the party later. Three activities, one purchase of eggs and a dye kit for $1.99 at Target. To save even more money, skip the sticker kits and use a white crayon to draw fun designs on the eggs before you dye them.
- Community Eggs Hunts. Many local churches and community centers will host free egg hunt events. Kids are divided into age groups and then race around an open yard to find a ton of plastic eggs with little candies or trinkets inside. You won’t have to buy your own, and it will be fun for the whole family!
- Buy Candy after Valentine’s Day. Buying candy after holidays is great because it’s all really inexpensive the day after. No one will notice if your jelly beans are red and pink instead of orange and green, and no one will care. If you really care, you could buy the Easter candy after Easter the year before and save it. I mean candy lasts awhile… who hasn’t eaten a piece of Halloween candy from some unknown previous year? #guilty
- Easter Coloring Pages. Coloring pages are really easy to print out at home, some libraries and grocery stores even send out themed coloring pages in the weekly newspaper. Check it out to see if there are some coloring page contests going on near you!
