With the Calgary Stampede officially kicking off tomorrow, summer festival season is fully here! We all know how easy it is for a weekend out to accidentally drain the savings account, but making memories shouldn’t mean busting your budget.
For me, it’s all about the rodeo shows and the live concerts. And of course, I’m definitely making a stop for the corn dogs and those giant turkey legs. They wouldn’t be optional!
The trick to surviving Stampede season without the financial hangover? Setting a fun budget before you go, sticking to the free pancake breakfasts, and using your Neo card to rack up personalized cashback on your weekend essentials. You can absolutely enjoy the best of summer while keeping your financial goals on track.
