When the temperature outside climbs, so do your bills.
The B-MO 2015 Summer Spending Survey reveals your wallet takes a big hit in the summer time.
Spending on things like social outings, entertainment, groceries, and gas can more than double this time of year.
The total average monthly spending on these things is just over $2,700 in the summer compared to a little less than $1,300 a month the rest of the year.
Families spend an average of about $900 a month on social outings and entertainment alone in the months of June to September compared to about $300 a month between October and May.
36% of Canadians surveyed have not set a summer budget.
