1. Skip the individually wrapped sweets: While it’s tempting to just pick up the specialty packaged Easter-themed sweets for your families’ baskets, think about buying your sweets in bulk and using fun treat bags to wrap it up. You’ll save on cost and you’ll produce less waste. Win-win.

2. DIY dye: Don’t waste money on fancy egg dying kits, have fun with the kids by making your own Easter egg dye with simple items like vinegar, food coloring and water. Mix it up and start the fun.

3. Check voucher codes: Since Easter is a heavy time for food shopping, many shops will lure even more shoppers with vouchers and other discounts. Make sure to search the web at sites like Save.co.uk for all the offers!

4. Save on dressing up: Want to dress your family up in Easter’s finest? Spring sales are in full swing as stores make room for summer merchandise, so take advantage of the savings to pick up neutrals like chinos, pastel dresses and floral accessories.

5. Look ahead to decorate for the season: Instead of getting super Easter-centric decorations, think about picking up decor that can we used all spring long, like fake flowers, bright colored napkins and table cloths.
