This Easter basket I made for my son!  I set a budget of $20.00 this year.  I put all his favorite things in it and still came in under budget.  He’s into Pokemon cards and they can be pretty pricey.  I scored some great clearance deals some of the same deals I scored for my daughters Cheap and Awesome Easter Basket!

Again I shopped the ends of the isles every where I went.  I went after Valentines Day and got this Lego set half off for a $1.99 at Target.  Walmart had clearance toothbrushes for a $1.00 and Dollar General had reasonably priced snacks.  Sometimes I find my best deals shopping after Holidays.

Every year I always make sure to put snacks, candy, chocolate bunny, and a tooth brush in the basket.

I use the same blue basket every year. No hassle of having to store or buy and new one . I even use the same Easter grass!  But if after the years it starts to look dingy I will replace it.

A great Easter Basket for only $20.00!

If you don’t have a basket another great option that’s even cheaper is a plastic pail!  This pail I found for $1.00 at Dollar General.  I took out some of the bigger items that I had in the basket that would not fit in the pail.

This version came in at $15.00

Don’t stress!  Whipping up and Easter basket may look over whelming.  Always start with a list, go to your favorite stores, and have fun with it!

Playing the Easter Bunny is the best!!
