So as part of our goal to reduce debt and get our Motorhome we had a little discussion on ways to save money and still be able to enjoy getting out. On Monday night I got really creative and put together a full fledged date that I told Roger would cost less than $10. He was all smiles! At the beginning of the year we bought what is called The Pass of all Passes. It gets us into Bee's games, Waterparks, bowling and all kinds of things for little or no money. Also, we had stopped at a Chick Fil A a few days earlier and on our receipt if you filled out a survey within 2 days you could get a free Originial Chicken Sandwich. Working an event for a lady I used to work for netted me a free small Jamba Juice. I was ready to go! The first thing we did was go and get our chicken sandwiches for dinner. It came to about $3.49 since we usually drink water so there was no cost for drinks. From there we went to one of the Seven Peaks locations which is included in our Pass of all Passes called Hollywood Connection where we went miniature golfing although for only $2 per person we had access to unlimited roller skating, miniature golfing, riding rides, bumper cars, merry go round and more! It also included 6 tokens each so we decided to go throw some Skee Ball. Roger was on a roll so when we were done between the 2 of us we had 100 tickets which we turned in for the cutest little barrel of monkeys I have ever seen!!
After that we went over to Jamba Juice and got our free Strawberry Surf Rider Jamba Juice. He tipped the guy $1. In the end we spent less than $9 for a full and complete date that was a lot of fun and we didn't feel like we had to skimp anywhere! Now we have a goal to see what we can do for our date night 3 of the 4 weeks out of the month and then do something a little nicer on the 4th week. How fun is that??! Its not about cutting back on our entertainment and the things we enjoy doing together, its about being creative about saving money and having fun doing it! We're up for the challenge! =)
