Summer Fun on a Budget: Your Ultimate Guide to Sun, Fun, and Savings
Hey there, sunshine seekers! That summer clock is starting to tick, but there’s still time to dive into all of the fun the season has to offer. But let’s face it, sometimes our wallets aren’t as ready for adventure as we are. Don’t worry — we’ve got your back with tips and tricks for having a blast without breaking the bank. Plus, we’ll sprinkle in some insider info on how Blue Eagle Credit Union can help you maximize your summer fun with some savvy financial moves. Let’s get to it!
Plan a Picnic Outing
Nothing says summer like a picnic in the park. Pack a basket with your favorite snacks, grab a blanket and head to a local park for a day of relaxation and deliciousness. Bonus points for bringing a frisbee or a kite! And remember, the best things in life are free — or close to being free, at least.
Hit the Water
Dreaming of a day on the lake? You don’t need to have a boat to enjoy some fun on the water. Consider looking into boat rentals or, even better, check out Blue Eagle Credit Union’s boat loans. Whatever floats your favorite boat — we have a loan for it! Picture yourself cruising the waves, wind in your hair, and sun on your face. Nothing better.
DIY Backyard Movie Night
Transform your backyard into an outdoor cinema. All you need is a projector (you can borrow or rent one), a white sheet and some cozy seating. Pop some popcorn, make some lemonade and enjoy a night under the stars with your favorite movies. Invite friends and make it a weekly tradition!
Fun Loans for Fun Times
Want to plan an epic summer vacation or finally get that new outdoor patio and BBQ grill? Blue Eagle Credit Union offers fun loans that are perfect for making your summer dreams come true. Whether it’s for a quick getaway or an upgrade to your summer gear, we’ve got flexible options to fit your budget because we believe fun shouldn’t come with financial stress.
Visit Free Local Events
Summer is packed with free events like outdoor concerts, festivals and farmers' markets. Keep a pulse on social media to know what’s happening around town. These events are perfect for enjoying live music, local food and fun activities without spending a fortune all while socializing with those close to you.
Get Outside
Hiking, backpacking, bike trails, and swimming holes are abundant in our neck of the woods. We live in the perfect area for outdoor activities whether on foot, two wheels, or four wheels.
Satisfy the Thirst for FUN
Craft beer, breweries and wineries galore with beautiful views and a taste of the sweet life. Many are dog friendly, offer live music, and have games.
A Page Right out of History
Virginia is rich with history and many things are free or inexpensive to explore. Think the Mill Mountain Star, the Natural Bridge or even local museums.
Now, you have no excuse to be bored. That’s a whole list of ways to have an eventful summer without emptying your wallet. Remember, the best adventures are the ones that bring joy, laughter and unforgettable memories. Here’s to a season filled with sun, smiles and smart spending!
We don’t need to hold you up any longer… go enjoy that sunshine while you still can!
