Some people may say I am frugal, but they are just being polite. I am outright stingy. Each day I try to find new cheap ways to live. It may not be for everyone, but it is for me... unless I win the lottery soon. Then I am going for a shopping spree at Walmart. So please join me in my thrifty journey through life.

The Dollar Store is the Best Place for Easter Supplies
If you are interested in decorating your home for Easter at a low cost, I recommend checking out dollar stores, such as the Dollar Tree. Dollar stores offer a number of low-budget Easter and spring decoration items. Aside from decorating your home for Easter, you can find perfect toys, candy, and items for Easter baskets. Of course, the best part is... everything is just $1!
Some of the great items you can purchase for Easter at the dollar store are:
Easter garland
Small Easter baskets
Easter buckets
Pinwheels
Plastic eggs
Small stuffed animals
Plastic grass for baskets
Toys
Snowglobes
Egg dye
Candy
Chocolate bunnies
Easter welcome signs for doors
And much, much more!
Many of the Easter items available at the dollar store are pretty decent. Some of the stuffed animals look slightly mutant-like, but other than that, a lot of the products are super cute. You can find Easter items you never even knew existed, like camouflage plastic eggs. I highly recommend taking a trip the dollar store this year for Easter supplies.

Have Yourself a Low-Budget Easter
Even if you don't have a lot of money to celebrate Easter, you can certainly have fun. You can spend time with your family, eat too much food, and have a great time all around. You seriously don't have to spend much money at all.
The first activity you can do for Easter is dye Easter Eggs. It does not cost a lost of money. A carton of eggs can easily cost about $2. You can also buy a kit to dye eggs for around 2 bucks, too. If you have food coloring, you won't even need to buy a kit. Once you've got everything together, just simply boil the eggs and start dying. For Easter Egg dying tips, make sure to check out: How to Dye Easter Eggs.
Another activity you can try is hunting for Easter Eggs. You can take the eggs you just dyed and hide them all over your house or your yard. As long as you don't let the eggs sit out too long, you can actually eat them after you are through hunting them. Some people find that a little gross, but my cousins and I did that all the time, and none of us died from it yet. If you'd like to read more about Easter Egg hunts, make sure to visit: How To Add Excitement To Your Easter Egg Hunt.
If all else fails, just take your boiled eggs and make some egg salad or deviled eggs with them. Everyone loves egg salad and deviled eggs. If you are lucky, some of the colors from the Easter egg dye will seep through and color the actual egg if the egg was cracked. That is fun and festive!
So have a very happy Easter this April. There is no reason to spend a lot of money on Easter this year or any year. Happy Easter!
