After all of these vacations the past month, a few new pairs of shoes, a COBRA payment and just life, this girl is a little cash poor. It turns out the man is stretched a little bit too lately. We have collectively come up with a new plan for November. We are only going to go on dates that cost $10 or less total. Meaning TOTAL. No date shall cost more than $10.00 USD.
This joint venture is going to take a fair amount of creativity and some good old fashioned home cooking, but I believe that we are up for the challenge. Who knows. Maybe this will end up being so fun that we will do it a little more often. At any rate it will be interesting and a bit creative. Life for us is about to change...
Here are some ideas that we have come up with so far:
1) Dinner and a movie. We go to the grocery store with $10 and pick out wine, food and a redbox movie
2) City Pass from the Library (more research is needed on this one, as I am not sure if his library offers this as mine does not)
3) Day trip to starved rock
4) Day trip to Lincoln Park Zoo
5) Book Night
6) Game Night
7) Library movie and Pizza
I am sure we will find more, but this seems to be a good start. And if all else fails we already know that we have fun no matter what we do. That in and of itself is worth more than any theater tickets or bottle of wine.
