There are lots of things a family can do that doesn't cost a lot of money. This past weekend we roasted hot dogs and made s'mores. The kids had a blast and didn't care at all that it only cost less than $10 for the whole thing. If we had taken them to the movies it would have cost over $50 for a family of 5 ($48.75 for movie tickets plus the cost of popcorn and sodas - you know how expensive it is to get drinks and popcorn at a movie theater!)
What we used:
(2) packs of marshmallows for $1 each
(2) boxes of off brand Graham Crackers $1 each
(1) 6 ct. package of Chocolate Bars $2.50
(1) package of hot dogs $1.50
(1) package of buns $.87
(1) 2 Liter soda $1
We used metal hangers and cut them with wire cutters. No need for fancy "Wiener Roasters." ;o) If you do this you'll need to burn the ends to get any paint or coating that may be on the hanger. My kiddos had so much fun and didn't miss the movies at all and we were happy to keep the extra cash in our checking account!
