You have a busy summer ahead with picnics, outdoor concerts, and days on the beach coming up.  It’s time to replace your old picnic supplies with something new but you are on a limited budget.  There are various options you may consider.  A backpack picnic set would make a good choice because they tend to be priced inexpensively.  There are a couple of websites you can check to compare prices.

At picnicfun.com, you can choose from several types of backpack picnic sets.  The first thing you may want to assess is what kind of backpack picnic set is right for you.  Do you want one that serves four people or two people?  Do you want a pack with a shoulder strap or two straps to wear over your shoulders?   These are some of the basic questions to ask yourself because there are price differences depending on what you pick.  Once you’ve decided on the kind of backpack picnic set you need, then you can start comparing prices.

One convenient feature you will find on picnicfun.com is on the left hand column which allows you to select the price range you would like to consider.  Prices range from under $50.00 to over $150.00.  Not surprisingly, the more expensive models feature high end features such as fine china, stainless steel cutlery, and a picnic blanket.  What they all share in common, however, are the common wares you would use in a picnic such as plates, utensils, cups, and space to store food.  With that in mind, there is a broad selection of backpack picnic sets you can choose from in the lower price range.

Another site to check is Amazon.com which where you can also purchase a backpack picnic set.  The selection is smaller than what you would find at picnicfun.com and prices tend to range from mid range ($50.00 – $100.00) to high end which can range from about $100.00 to nearly $180.00.  If you have budgeted to spend that much, you can do some research on the backpack picnic set you want to buy before spending money on something you may regret later.  Fortunately, Amazon.com features customer reviews which rate products you might be interested in.  Amazon does not require buying from them in order to read the reviews.  You may see something on picnicfun.com priced lower than on Amazon yet Amazon may have a review on that same product which you can read to decide if you want it or not.

Finally, you have the option of buying a backpack picnic set at a department store or a shop that sells outdoor gear.  However, researching these the picnic sets online is still worthwhile.
