FIND A CHEAP SPOT.
Lessen mall outings. If it has been a once a week malling for the whole family, you may just have it once a month and have some cheaper, but still fun alternatives. You may take the kids to a beach instead, where entrance fee is cheaper, bring your own food and drinks, and spend the whole morning till lunch at the beach.
DINE OUT.
You do not have to go to the restaurant to eat out. You can dine out -- al fresco! You may set up a table and chairs in the garden for dinner under the stars. To add up a little coziness, you may set up a gazebo in the garden and have dinner with the whole family.
ENJOY THE OUTDOORS.
Your family may also go to a vacant lot near a mall to play ball or badminton for free. Similarly, you may also go biking in a park with the kids.
PREMIUM ON STORYTELLING TIME.
PREMIUM ON STORYTELLING TIME.
Revive the tradition of storytelling -- it does not cost much and it enriches young minds. In addition to reading fairy tales and children's books, you can also share true stories of yourself, your partner, the kid's grandparents, and other close relatives.

i like this post mommy! very nice, simple suggestions..i agree with you..it doesn't really have to be expensive to have fun as a family...:)
Now that fall is finally upon us, outdoor eating sounds like a grand idea. Maybe even doing a special theme for each one!
