Sticking to our Summer Bucket List Budget with #CAARewards

I’m going to be honest and say that money has been tight since we are down to only one income, so we’ve had to get really creative with how we spend our money and how we choose to entertain the kids this summer! 

We used our CAA Membership a couple of years ago to plan trips, save on gas and even get discounts when we traveled to the U.S. for hotels and at Sesame Place (15% off admission!), but now my membership has even more value by helping me save on shopping and summer entertainment for the kids.  

Here are our ideas to save on family fun from our Hamilton Summer Bucket List:

1.  Movie Tickets– The boys are really excited for a family movie night to see ‘How to Train Your Dragon 2‘, so we just bought our Cineplex tickets online and saved 24% off the ticket prices!  Quick and simple on the online store, we ordered the Two Adults and Two Child “Night Out” packages and should receive them in the mail next week!

2.  Ontario Science Centre– The kids and I LOVED the new ‘Science of Rock and Roll’ exhibit, so they picked another visit to the Science Centre for a summer excursion.  Using our CAA Membership, we get 10% off general admission/ OMNIMAX® theatre vouchers! 

3.  African Lion Safari– We’ve been once to this magical place and I swear that after seeing “Blended” with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, I’m even more desperate to actually get to Africa!  Since that’s not exactly in our Summer Bucket List Budget, we are taking the kids to African Lion Safari!  We can save 10% off the gate admission to see these incredible animals up close!

4.  Toronto Zoo– We used to have a pass to the Zoo, but now have a pass to Canada’s Wonderland, so we really miss seeing the animals and we’ve never seen the new Pandas!  With our CAA membership, we can also save 10% at the gate!

It’s a great time to join CAA and see all that they have to offer for your own family fun this summer (for all member benefits, check out the rewards)!  You can easily save the value of the cost of your membership just this summer alone and I’m already thinking about the Back-to-School shopping discounts!
