equals epic fail with being frugal. I was confined to bed all day yesterday and knew I was taking them skating today. Last minute decided to throw going to lunch in the mix which ended up costing half my grocery budget for the week.We will keep that our little secret. We always go skating on days our local rink has specials.Todays was a little different because they have a ball drop party where baloons fall down that have prizes in them. We ended up getting 5.00 and two soft pretzels for the next time we go. Usually on the way out when its over they pass out free admission tickets for the next time you come. Which is why we go there as often as we do.
Ok here is my best 20.00 I spend every year. Well technically 40.00 because I buy two books. I buy the enjoy the city coupon books. Our school had them as a fundraiser last year but I am always looking for someone selling them. They are great for date nights with the hubby and also kid/parent night. Which I will get into at a later time. Heres the rundown of the books. two large pizza's one medium one small all for FREE. Which more then pays for the book in my opinion. also atleast 20 buy one get one free coupons for pizza. It also has a lot of buy one get one free dinners from nicer restaraunts which we use on date nights. We rarely go anywhere anymore without a coupon. I know some men may have an issue with it and Travis did before but not anymore. another plus is the burger king coupons buyu one get one free on whopper and chicken sandwhiches.It also has skating,museum and laser tag and bumper bowling coupons. WIth free laser tag/bumper bowling again perfect for one on one kid time.
I know its a small up front investment but lasts a little over a year before they expire and saves a Ton in the long run. When you can go on a date and spend maybe 15.00 plus not pay fpr a sitter you are doing fantastic in my book.
