Strapped for Cash? Here Are Some Ways To Save Money When Raising Busy Kids.
Have your child choose carefully and you might be able to save a few bucks!
While all activities will have some cost associated with them, there are a few that traditionally cost more. Parents can think about these costs and their potential cost savings when their children start to become involved in activities. This is especially true if the child is up in the air as to which activity in which to participate.
Music
For example, if your child is undecided as to which instrument to pick for band and is between a flute and a bassoon, you should know that woodwinds that require reeds, such as clarinets, saxophones, oboes, and bassoons, have an added cost. The added cost is for reeds. And the better the musician, the more expensive the reed. I know. I had one child play sax, clarinet, and bassoon. Additionally, my other two sons played clarinet and sax, both requiring reeds. Reeds, especially double reeds, are expensive! You can save yourself the extra cost if your child picks an instrument without reeds.
Expensive instrument costs add up! The following instruments might cost you more than just the rental fee.
