Easter Saving Tips

We have put together some top tips to help you save a little money over the Easter break!

Easter Egg Hunt at Home

Get some small eggs/ Easter treats and hide them in the garden or around the house for a fun Easter activity for the kids!

Fossil hunting fun for families

Families with kids who are dinosaur-mad should flock to fossil-hunting areas, such as Waterloo Bay in Larne is one of the most important places in the world when it comes to fossil-hunting, to look for ancient remains such as bones, shells and more.

The best part is you don’t even need any kit as the Fossil Collecting Code says that visitors to beaches that contain fossils are not allowed to hammer the cliffs or to extract fossils from the foreshore – you are only generally allowed to collect loose items from the beach.

So all you need is decent footwear, your eyes and a bit of patience.

Bring snacks for day trips

Here’s the quick list of items to pack in the car boot before a road trip so you won’t overspend during the day out:

Bottles of water or a bulk bottle of water

1. Snacks for the kids
2. Baby wipes (always super handy for spills in the car)
3. A cold six-pack of ginger beer
4. Drinks for everyone (if water isn’t your go-to drink)
5. A grocery bag packed with non-perishables from cupboards at home
6. Thermos, coffee and tea for stops along the way.
7. Shop at home for crafts and get creative

Don’t be afraid to use what you have around the house for making Easter creations look more amazing. Consider doing this:

• Decorate Easter hats with tinsel (e.g. white tinsel leftover from Christmas.
• Use up plain leftover gift paper for table runners – such as pastel blue or pink paper.

BIGGER PACKS

Buy bigger packs of household favourites to get you through the Easter holidays. Not only can bigger pack products be better value, but they can limit the number of trips to the shop to ensure you’re maximising your time this Easter break.
