Make the Most of the Fall Season While Staying on Budget
When thinking of fall, you may remember being a kid and carving pumpkins, jumping into leaf piles, and planning the perfect Halloween costume. Just because you're an adult now doesn't mean you have to spend a ton of money to celebrate the autumn season.
Cheap Fall Activities
One of the many great things about autumn is the endless activities you can participate in. Check out some cheap things to do this fall for unique ways to enjoy the season without breaking your budget.
Family Movie and Game Night
The fall season is the perfect time to see friends and family. If going to the movie theater is outside of your budget, you can bring the movies to you by planning a movie night in your own home. Or, if you'd rather play than watch a movie, host a family game night. Whether your family loves classic board games or interactive games like Twister, there are plenty of options to inspire friendly competition.
Take a Day Hike
Fall ushers in cooler weather, making it a great season for day hikes. Plan your hike around the fall leaves for beautiful views and a chance to see nature's final hurrah before winter. Elevate your hike by packing a picnic, and add some hot apple cider or hot cocoa to enjoy along the way.
Plan a Nature Scavenger Hunt
Spend time in the great outdoors and engage in some friendly competition with a nature scavenger hunt. This low-cost fall activity is great for kids and adults. You can have your participants search for small prizes or offer one big prize at the end to increase the thrill.
Carve or Paint Pumpkins
Nothing quite says fall like the sight of cheerful orange pumpkins. Pick up a few pumpkins from your local farm stand and carve a funny (or spooky) face on them to welcome the autumn season. Not a big fan of carving? Take a brush and paint whatever you want on your round, orange canvas. If you have the gardening space, save some seeds to plant in the spring and try growing your own pumpkins.
