Top Tips for a great picnic on a budget;
A blacket is a must or deck chairs - get comfy!
Take a camera, ball, kids fishing net , bucket and spade (just in case)
Make a flask up - you make the best tea, coffee or hot chocolate at home.
Take a simple packed lunch in baggies, you can get rid of rubbish at the park rather than take loads of containers home for washing up.
Buy and ice cream - it's a favorite or all the family - always feels like a treat.
