From our childhood memory, most of us may remember the Easter Sunday when we used to dress up with our new Easter dress. The girls used to wear the new bonnet, pretty frilly dresses, bright white leather shoes, and a hat made of flowers/feathers according to our culture and family tradition.
Today, we practically avoid dressing up like those days anymore. We’ve made some modifications and replaced some of the main material from our dress. Still, we may have found difficulties to cope up with the traditions of Easter. It becomes very hard and frustrating for us to arrange the perfect wardrobe each time within our budget. So, we need to look for few special offers, prices at retail stores and online shopping websites. Let’s find out how we can enjoy this Easter with others being a frugal-minded shopper.
#1 Religion, tradition, and gifts
Every Easter we happily enjoy Easter as per our family traditions and social religion. We buy gift items and give them to our loved ones, and that often become too expensive for us. Getting proper gifts for the kids, parents, and others may be confusing as it happens in Christmas. It’s only because we think costly gifts will please our loved ones. We first need to change that thinking. We must look into handmade, attractive but inexpensive goods gifting behavior and please our friends and family without damaging our budget too badly.
#2 Clothes for Easter Sunday and spring
Easter is a special time when you can give the gift that’ll express your tradition and can be used during the Easter holiday. You can buy clothes from online stores like Amazon.com, Target.com, and Walmart.com; they always offer great discounts on this kind of special occasions. You can find nice dresses under $20 to $30. You can also add a pair of new shoes and it’ll not cost you more than $50 in total. Buy good clothes and gift them as Easter gifts as well as for springtime dresses.
#3 Look for flowers
When our elders were young, they used to send lilies, roses, and tulips to their friends and family on Easter. These flowers are stunning and their perfume is mind blowing. These flowers can decorate any occasion, any place you want, especially the Easter. So, flowers and bonsai trees are the most authentic and cheapest decoration one could ever for Easter. You can also use them as beautiful gifts as well at Easter. Trust me, they can be treated as special gifts while keeping your wallet safe.
#4 Look for post-Easter offers
You can avail attractive offers by shopping post-Easter week. The next day after Easter, stores will reduce their prices by at least 50% when the day is over. You can save a good amount by buying Easter decorations, flower baskets, plastic Easter eggs and much more things for next year celebration.
#5 Now what’s for your taste buds!!
* Easter candies: By the term “Easter”, we can surely remember the traditional baskets fully loaded with flavored chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, cream filled Easter chocolate eggs, “peeps” and lots of other sweeteners for indulging your taste buds.
But eating too much of these things can harm your or your kid’s health. Too much intake of sugar and chocolate can weaken your bones and gum. Those huge baskets filled with candy and sweets can also have attractive little toys, puzzles, and reading books. We’re supposed to select gifts and hide them for some special person. You can hide those gift baskets and Easter eggs any place you want.
*Treats made at home: You can avoid buying cookies from outside and can bake tasty treats at your own home. You can easily get easy-to-use homemade treat mixes from retail stores. Cookies, cakes, chocolate chip covered pastries, strawberries covered with white chocolate, and try them at your home. It’ll save your wallet as well as give you a traditional feeling of Easter.
*Easter Eggs: This Easter you can save money by not buying costly Easter egg coloring pack. You can enjoy coloring your Easter eggs in the old fashioned way. All you have to do is to use natural food color and vinegar for coloring your Easter eggs. Don’t forget to put some water in it.
*Easter decorations: Another way you can save lots of bucks on Easter decorations by making all the crafts and posters all by yourself. You can make beautiful Easter centerpieces by using colorful jellybeans and peeps. You need to get a glass jar full of water also. After putting the jelly beans and peeps in the jar, fill it with water and add flowers for decoration. You can also use a large glass cylinder vase and decorate it with candles, jellybeans, and colorful stones also.
