How To Make A Thrifty Family Bucket List

I’m so excited for this summer but when the weekend comes around, often I can’t think of anything original to do. It gets to Sunday night and I’m full of regrets about when we should have been up to. That’s why I’ve decided to make a bucket list of thrifty activities to do this summer and places to visit.

How to Make the Bucket

I found a really cute board in a local charity shop that had a jar attached to it. However, you could easily make one yourself and enjoy decorating it as a family. The straps for the jar are available in the plumbing section of places like B & Q. Equally, just a jar, a used and washed out tin or any small container will do.

Decide What You Want to Do

I chose to write all our bucket list activities on lollypop sticks from Amazon. They’re available to purchase here. again, you could simplify this even more and write the ideas down on individual pieces of paper or even just create a Pinterest board. We chose a mixture of free and cheap things to do, make or places to visit. Also things we might have done before and some we’re still to try. This means that it doesn’t matter whether we’re feeling flush or skint or what the weather has decided to do either!

Bucket List Ideas

Here’s a list of what we decided to include (keeping in mind we have two under two). I’m sure you can think of lots of activities suitable for your own family but you can use these as prompts!
