Father's Day is around the corner, and you don't need to shell out a hundo to show your old man some love. We get it — it's tempting to ball out on expensive gifts to win dad’s approval, but sometimes it's the simple things that mean the most. While about 21% of Canadians celebrating Father’s Day plan to go out for dinner, treating him to that expensive steak he wants can seriously put a dent in your wallet. Instead of blowing your budget, why not ask your dad for his favourite recipe (or pick from these low-cost dishes), and surprise him with a homemade meal? Another fail-proof, budget-friendly gift idea: a photo album. Trust us, it’s a tear-jerker. You can print photos at Staples for $0.19 a pop and grab a photo album on Amazon for less than $15. But the number one thing that Dad wants, according to one survey, is quality time with you.
