As a blogger on the subject, I’m constantly on the lookout for fresh ideas to share and inform my readers about bargains to be had in our area. Most often it’s news about local flea markets, yard sales and auctions. But today I wanted to share an idea for a wonderful family activity that can be enjoyed in a big way for a very small cost.Yesterday morning I had a great time with the kids picking blueberries! It’s relaxing and fun too. Plus, wherever I take my 4-year-old, Katie, she never fails to strike up a conversation with people around us!
My 14-year-old son, Sean, questioned the entertainment value at first, but upon arrival went along. Later he admitted having a good time and even expressed a desire to go back sometime!
For a grand total of $3.15, three of us filled up an old container for baby wipes with plump, delicious, super-healthy blueberries... And returned home with more than enough to go around!
