Saving Money – Field Trips ~ Replay

This is a replay of another podcast on the same topic – but now is the time! Saving money and field trips is always a good idea.

Saving money isn’t always easy especially if you are like us and have lots of kids! A fee such as $10 a person seems unaffordable when you multiply it by five kids and then add in the adults. Today we talk about places that we can go for free or you can do things and get a discount, or even get family passes! Even a field trip to a nature center or even go on a hike, can turn into a learning experience. And, you’ll save money in fact it might be as little as $3 for the whole family.

Here is another great podcast to save you money! Virtual Field Trips – here
