Birthdays and holidays are wonderful, but you don’t have to bust your budget to celebrate a special day. Instead, party at home! Cook up a family member’s favorite dinner instead of going out to eat and make birthdays festive with low-cost party decorations that you can pick up at the dollar store. Play some party games to up the fun factor and top it all off with a delicious homemade cake.

On weekends, save money and spend a fun day at home. Create some wonderful memories inside your own four walls while saving on gas, snacks, drinks and a lot more. Instead,  you can have a family game tournament, set up a homemade carnival, get out the popcorn and binge-watch all your family’s favorite movies, or even host a talent show and let everyone perform.

When you’re with family and you’ve got a positive attitude, your options are endless!
