There’s no doubt about it - Easter is one of the most enjoyable times of the year. Whether it’s the beautiful flowers and family celebrations, or you’re just in it for the chocolate, it’s such fun.

We want to ensure that you can dive in without worrying about cost. That's why I’ve covered everything from Easter baskets to table decor - all on a budget. Read on to find out exactly how you can celebrate Easter this year without spending too much money.

When is Easter 2026?

This year, Easter Sunday falls on Sunday, 5th March. And if you’re wondering about Spring bank holidays, this year we’ve got a few. Good Friday is on 3rd March, and Easter Monday is on 6th March.

Where to buy cheap Easter eggs

Let’s be honest, we’re all here for the Easter chocolate we’re about to indulge in. But let me tell you - sweet treats taste even better when they don’t cost a fortune.

I’ve previously delved into the world of Easter eggs to find out how you can get more chocolate for your money. And you’ll be pleased to know that I’ve found the best supermarket Easter eggs that deliver just that. Surprisingly, M&S came up better than I thought.

But it’s not just about where you shop - it’s about how to get cheap Easter eggs too. From timing your purchases just right to using one of our handy discount codes here at MyVoucherCodes, there are a few sneaky ways to save on your Easter eggs if you know how.

Easter hosting ideas

This year, I’m getting into hosting, and whatever the occasion, I’m rounding up the best tips and tricks to do it on a budget. And now, it’s time to talk Easter.

I’m an autumn girl at heart, but springtime is a close second. Between the daffodils and tulips and all of the delicious, sweet treats, it’s one of the most wholesome times of the year to host.

If, like me, you want to create the most wonderful spread, I’ve written an entire piece on Easter table ideas that look special but cost nothing, to give you some inspiration.

And if you’re looking for some Easter goodies to serve, then we’ve got you covered, too. I always keep an eye out and share those worth mentioning, like the best hot cross buns from M&S, so you’ll never miss out.

The best Easter activities

Don’t let your Easter weekend fall flat. I’ve compiled a handy list of fun and affordable Easter activities to do with friends and family. If you love the idea of making a wreath for Christmas, there are tons of seasonal crafts perfect for spring.

Why not have a go at building your own adorable Easter basket for less? All you need is a basket (spoilers, it doesn’t have to be an actual basket) and a few thoughtful gestures. It’s ideal as a wholesome activity or a small gift.

When I’m not writing about saving money on homely purchases, I’m either sitting with my head in a new book, painting a piece of art for my walls, or binge-watching an interior design programme on Netflix. I love to get inspiration and transform my space, usually with the help of a few Pinterest boards and a couple of tins of paint.
