For summer fun, we cut cost where we can and spend the savings on one or two little trips. We also have a lot of fun participating in free or low-cost community events. Thank you. Laurie Adams,adamsfamily at peak.org
We eat at home instead of eating out every other weekend if we have an attainable goal in the near future.
We put aside a little each month into a savings account for summer fun.

I save my spare change also…Starting in October and ending in July…I usually end up with a few hundred dollars..I put the rest in with money I put back everyweek for it also.

we put all our spare change in a jar and then use that to do things we normally wouldn't do.
I like using daily deal type sites to go places with my family. Great for going to farms and zoos and local go cart places. I can save 50% or more. I also bring my own lunches to these places. Especially when going to bigger places like Great America. you save a ton.

We buy season passes to a "local" amusement park. Because our zip code falls in the "outer market" area, it makes them $10-$20 cheaper than normal. Since it's really only about an hour away we can afford to drive down pretty often. Also, since we have family in that area, we don't have to pay for a place to stay.
We go visit family and save on hotels by staying with family.

We just put a little aside every month for the rest of the year
Best is to do group trips, use discount site like groupon, and bring your own food esp alcohol
I try and save money on our utility bills when I can and avoid extra spending where I can to save up

I save by using coupons as often as I can 🙂
eg kaufman
we save by looking for discounts
I look out for discounts on activities and attractions on daily deal sites. I also watch for airline specials for cheap plane tickets
I save change in a big jar
We put money aside each month in envelopes – Dave Ramsey style – to save for particular vacations or special occasions.
I use coupons!

We'll save for a trip someday. 🙂
We try to put money aside each month to save for summer vacations.

We save money by budgeting and putting money away!
Trying to conserve on energy and gas allows more money for other things.
We try to do things that are free or take little money right noww.
No money to save here either…usually we can put some extra funds towards a vacations or something but not this year. 🙁
In my family we save for a big summer adventure every other year. And did small local trips like camping and hiking locally in the forest and desert near my house.
we use coupons when shopping and have a big glass empty water bottle that we throw in all loose change and one dollar bills…..last time we rolled the coins and counted the dollar bills we had $500.00…we were amazed!

I always comparison shop before I buy

We save our change to finance special summer days.

We try to stay local. Luckily we live really close to the beach!
my best way to save is to wear everything as long as possible and then donate for a tax writeoff.
We put money from recycling cans towards vacations

Keeping spare change
i save by cutting back costs on everything i can all year long.
I have a problem saving in the summer and would really like some tips
I never have any money left over to save for anything.
we are having a yard sale to pay for our camping trip
i have a garage sale and save up on extra visa gc and other gc I happen to win by blogging and use those on the trip, carawling(at)hotmail(dot)com
When we go on a trip to, say, the beach, we always take a cooler with food and drinks so we don't spend so much money on going out to eat!
We recycle, save our loose change, coupon.
We save all year round and use credit card rewards for more money!
we use our credit card for everything and cash out our rewards just in time for summer vaca
We collect cans . And save any spare change if we can.
I work full time but have a side painting business…so any of the money I make with selling paintings go to fun summer things 🙂

We plan way ahead. We mostly just go camping, so lots of coupons for camping food help too. 🙂
We save by using coupons year round, and shopping at yard sales in the summer!
I cut back on spending, by being creative in the kitchen with what I have on hand. Instead of grocery shopping once a week. I go maybe 1x every 2 weeks.
We save a little each pay all year long
