Foreceipt is trusted by businesses to monitor finances, prepare for tax season, and stay organized. But it’s also perfect for personal use – acting like your everyday bookkeeper for family budgets and seasonal spending.
Summer brings vacations, kids’ camps, weekend getaways, and spontaneous fun – but it also brings a wave of extra expenses. In fact, one survey found that Americans spend an average of $2,229 during summer.
The good news? With a bit of planning and the right tools, you can enjoy the season without losing track of your finances. That’s where Foreceipt, our real-time receipt tracking app, comes in. Let’s walk through how Foreceipt can help you manage typical summer expenses and keep your budget under control.

Common Summer Expenses to Watch For
Summer spending adds up fast. Here are some major categories to plan for:
• Vacations & Travel: Flights, hotels, gas, and beach rentals can quickly total thousands.
• Kids’ Camps & Activities: Sports clinics, day camps, and summer programs often cost hundreds per week.
• Events & Entertainment: Weddings, concerts, fairs, and spur-of-the-moment outings add up fast.
• Back-to-School Prep: Even before summer ends, supplies and clothes can cost families around $858 per child.

Why Summer Spending Can Get Out of Hand
Summer is busy. Receipts get lost, and big costs (like camps or flights) often hit all at once. Nearly half of Americans say summer is their most expensive season. The key to staying in control? Real-time awareness of your spending.
That’s exactly what Foreceipt provides.
