Here are some of the things we've been able to do with our limited budget while still having a blast:
- Movie and Frozen Yogurt Night. We try to go to the first showing since the tickets are cheaper and then go to a frozen yogurt shop and share one. Since you get to make your own it's kinda fun trying to figure out what to pick.Then we just sit back and chat.
- Arcade Night. We love going to this little arcade and playing all the games we played when we were kids. We then pig out on arcade food like pizza, nachos, popcorn, or cotton candy. Being able to act like little kids once in a while is a nice change from the usual adult life.
- Museum and Coffee Shop Afternoon. I love art, and our local museum is always bringing new and interesting exhibits. The entrance fee is only 6 dollars per person and we have 8 dollars left over to spend at their little coffee shop. We walk around, see some interesting artwork, talk and then it's off to the coffee shop. The Boyfriend usually gets the coffee and I just pig out on pastries. :)
- Music Night. On the rare occasions that the Boyfriend is not playing on the weekends, we like to go out and see other musicians play. There's just something about live music that soothes both our souls. So, on those nights, we bar hop until we find something we like and then just kick back, share a couple of drinks and enjoy the music.
- Sandwich Night. This one started out one night when the Boyfriend was craving a sandwich. It was past midnight so our options were somewhat limited, still, we knew of a few after hour places that could be open . We rushed to the first place, but got there too late. The same thing happened at the second place, and then the third. We kept going from place to place but every time we got there, they had just closed. I mean, literally. One place even closed it's door right in our face. Needless to say, we didn't get our sandwiches that night, but racing against time was more than enough fun. Now, whenever we get a craving for a sandwich, we like to go to the places we weren't able to try that night.
