How We Have Family Fun Without Breaking the Bank

Having fun as a family doesn’t have to mean draining your bank account. In this episode of The Catholic Money Show, Jonathan and Amanda Teixeira share one of their family’s best-kept secrets for making memories together—without the stress of sky-high price tags.


Why Family Fun Gets Expensive Fast

Parents know the feeling: you want to take the kids out for a fun afternoon, but the cost of tickets, snacks, and activities multiplies quickly—especially in a big family. What seems like a simple outing can turn into hundreds of dollars a month if you’re not careful.

Jonathan and Amanda open up about how even their family of six feels the pinch—and why large families are often masters at finding creative, affordable ways to have fun.


The Secret: Get Out Pass

The Teixeiras discovered the Get Out Pass, a one-time annual purchase that unlocks dozens of activities—mini golf, escape rooms, trampoline parks, museums, even sports tickets—for a fraction of the normal cost.

Instead of paying per outing, the family now has a year’s worth of activities built into their budget. It’s become not just a money-saver but a whole new rhythm of Sunday adventures and family traditions.

“We realized how many memories we racked up this past year—and how much money we saved. This is now a staple in our budget.”Amanda Teixeira


How It Works

  • One pass = a year of activities in your area (or wherever you travel)
  • Some activities are once a year, others monthly, and some even daily
  • Pricing varies by location, but sales and promo codes can bring costs down to just $25–$50 per person per year
  • For many families, the savings add up after just one or two outings

Why We Recommend It

The Get Out Pass hasn’t just saved the Teixeiras money, it’s enriched their family culture by encouraging them to try new activities (escape rooms! )they may not have otherwise considered, all without guilt about overspending.
