No matter what time of year you’re reading this, warm weather is always closer than you think!
Here are fifteen ways you can have a sensational summer without sliding into more debt.
Read a New Book
Basking in the sun with a good book is back on the menu! Take advantage of it while you can by getting tucked into a good story.
Start Your Dream Garden
Gardening is fulfilling, engaging, and frankly, pretty time-consuming, so it’s a fantastic way to enjoy the dog days of summer.
Play With Chalk
Remember hopscotch and how fun that was? Why not play with some friends or your family? Or let your creative juices flow and put a smile on the face of anyone walking by.
Grill More
Cooking is always a wise, frugal activity. But since it’s nice out, spend more time grilling out, maybe even hosting a potluck with some friends!
Spend Time in the Park
Your local park has never been more inviting than in the summer months, so go explore, maybe bring a picnic lunch, and have a pleasant, inexpensive afternoon.
Find Free Events
There are many more free outdoor events in the summer you can check out; be warned that some could end up being expensive if you aren’t careful.
Enjoy a Parade
Summer is also the perfect time for a parade! See if any are happening in your area throughout the summer and make a day of it. You could get some free candy out of it!
Go Hiking
As long as you pack properly, hiking in the summer is a phenomenal way to enjoy nature in full swing, get some exercise, and spend time with friends and family — or go it alone, as long as you know where you’re going!
Head To The Beach

Make a day trip to the beach. You only need sunscreen, snacks, a swimsuit, and a towel.
Go Camping
Camping doesn’t have to be expensive, especially if you already have the gear. Don’t want to shell out dough for the campsite? Try camping in your backyard!
Host Game Nights
This is an even better tip if you have space to entertain outside but have people over or enjoy some games with your family on a beautiful summer evening.
Hit Up The Farmer’s Markets
Farmer’s markets aren’t always cheaper than going to the grocery store. Still, the quality can often be worth the trade-off, and it’s a great way to get your hands on some fabulous summer produce.
Explore
Since spending more time outside (unless it’s sweltering hot) will be more tolerable, why not take the opportunity to get to know your city a bit more? Go for a walk and see what you find.
Exercise Outdoors
Want to rekindle your love for running or biking? If you stay hydrated, enjoy the entire summer experience by exercising outside.
Stay In
Sometimes, it’s too hot to go out, and that’s okay. There’s nothing wrong with staying in, watching a movie or your favorite show, and vegging out once in a while, especially if you’ve spent a long day in the sun.
