Holiday Fun on a Budget

Having a family is very expensive, but it can be quite disheartening to have to forgo life’s little luxuries because the cost of day to day living is just too high. It is nice to be able to afford a few little extras like the odd day out, a holiday every few years, meals out every now and again, or treats for your little ones. One of the biggest luxury expenses is the family holiday, and it is something that more and more people have to go without. There is no need to cut it out all-together though. De-stress with one of these budget friendly holiday ideas.

Holiday Park

For an all round family fun break why not head to one of the UK’s fantastic holiday parks. They have everything you need for a great family holiday all in one location. Kids will love trying out all the fun activities and watching all the great entertainment and adults can join in too, or simply relax while the children play. You can win a Butlins family holiday with special packs of Cushelle at the moment so try your luck and you might just save yourself a packet.

Staycation

There are several different definitions of the staycation. Most take it to mean a stay at home holiday. Instead of forking out on accommodation, take some time off work, stay at home with your family and plan day trips and adventures close to where you live. You get all the excitement of the activities during the day, but can return home to your own bed cutting out the bulk of the cost.

Camping

Family camping is so much fun and you do not need to be a boy scout to do it. Whether you rock up to a campsite and pitch your tent, or opt for camping in the garden, there is something very exciting to children about sleeping underneath a canopy. Campsites are very reasonable in price, and the average cost of a pitch per night is just ten pounds.

Whatever type of holiday you decide to have, plan your budget wisely and it won’t get in the way of you having a wonderful time with your family. The last thing you want is to spend the whole time worrying about whether you can or can’t afford it, so try a cheaper option this summer. Great fun, for less.
