Frugal Family: Family Fun for Cheap

Who says saving money can't be a family affair?

As parents, we often try to make the most of every second. As soon as the kids are dropped off at school or a play date, we run as many errands as humanly possible in the allotted time. By the time we go to pick our little ones up, we’re too exhausted to participate in much more activity. Change it up this week. Have them come with you to help pick up dry cleaning and food shop, and ollow up the chores with a family game of golf or some educational fun.
