10 frugal Fall activities. Celebrate Autumn without breaking the bank. Simple, frugal, family fun. Pumpkins, cocoa, walks in the park and so much more.

Fall

There are so many reasons to celebrate the fall season. I love the cool crisp mornings of Autumn.  The color changing in the leaves.  The bounty of the harvest.  Fall is a time to get back to schedules and activities. Its also a great time for frugal fall activities

Celebrating Harvest Season

It is a time to celebrate the harvest and Thanksgiving.  Autumn is a time of family gatherings and activities.

Frugality

Fall is the perfect time to start living more frugally. School and extracurricular activities are back in session and summer bills are being paid off.  Saving for Christmas holidays has started.

Time To Save

Fall is a time of limited funds. A time to gather, a time to harvest and a time to save.

Best Ways To Save Money During The Fall

Enjoy the bounty of the harvest; apples and squash.  So many items are in season and can be preserved for use during the year.  Learn what you can freeze to save money.

Fall Money Saving Tips

Skip the expensive entertainment and enjoy all that nature has to offer during the Fall season. Walks in the park, apple picking, pumpkin carving, cranberry festivals, jumping in leaves and so much more.

Frugal Fun

Below you will find a list of  fun frugal fall activities.  I have tried to select activities for the whole family to enjoy.  Most of the activities are free or very light on the pocket book. Enjoy.

10 frugal Fall activities. Celebrate Autumn without breaking the bank. Simple, frugal, family fun. Pumpkins, cocoa, walks in the park and so much more.

Frugal Fall Activities: 

Apple Harvest

As the morning air gets crisper so do the apples. If you don’t have your own apple tree to pick from look for a local farm.  Harvesting or picking your own apples is fun for the whole family and way cheaper than purchasing them at the store.   And what better Autumn dessert than baked cinnamon apples or homemade apple pie.

Autumn Nature Walk

Don’t you just love the change of colors during the Fall.  A simple walk in the park or on a local trail becomes more than just a walk during Autumn. It becomes a great opportunity to collect leaves for crafts.  Or to take seasonal photography.

Fall Crafts

Autumn is a great time to collect fallen leaves for color collages or leaf prints.  Squashes and ornamental pumpkins are in season for decorating.  With a little bit more time on your hands and a beautiful color palette available to you let nature be your crafting guide.

Cup and Conversation 

Fall is a great time to gather friends for coffee or tea and time to catch up.  Or plan game day activities, potlucks and dinners.

Backyard Fire Pits And Marshmallow Roast

This I think is our son’s favorite part of Fall. We have a propane fire pit that we bring out in Fall.  We gather around as a family, drink hot cocoa and catch up on the days activities.

Pumpkin Patch

Nothing says Fall more than a pumpkin.  So what better way to spend a Fall afternoon than wandering the local pumpkin patch for the perfect pumpkin.

Scavenger Hunts

Grab a group of friends or family and go on the hunt for selected Fall items. Who can find the most items?

Corn Mazes

We live in farm country and corn mazes are a big fall activity.  If you have never done a corn maze – it is a maze made in a corn field.  Your job is to make it from the entrance to the exit in the shortest amount of time. Corn mazes are a cheap afternoon of family fun.

Fishing

As the weather begins to cool fishing becomes more successful. Relaxing on the river, spending time with nature. Sometimes it is not about whether you catch the fish, it is about the atmosphere.

Rest And Relaxation

With Fall comes blankets, hot cocoa, tea and cozy nights.  Great family activities include watching movies, playing board games, cooking and eating meals together.  Backyard camping is also great this time of year.

Time To Gather

Fall is a time of gathering. Spending time together.  A time to save money and plan.

Plan some amazing activities.  Enjoy your Autumn.
