{real life} my cheap date

I miss my husband.

{you}: Don't you work at home with your husband?

Yes.

We've been working 14-16 hour days together.

We eat meals together. We sleep in the same bed.

I miss my husband.

We talk about the day's agenda during breakfast.

We talk about designs over a quick lunch.

We work on layouts during dinner.

We work on custom invitations in the evening.

We discuss marketing strategies at bedtime.

I miss my husband.

Tonight is Date Night.

It's on the schedule.

Nothing is more important tonight.

I miss my husband.

We design stationery items and draw illustrations.

We live on a very tight budget.

We're cheap.

We love being cozy.

There's no better place than home.

We have about 5 go-to restaurants on a budget.

We look for platters that offer enough food for

two by just adding one side item.

We also fill-out quick surveys that offer us

something for free--entree, side or dessert.

Tonight we're going Asian with a free entree coupon.

We'll get three entrees and enough rice for two.

Dinner = $6.51

We love disaster movies.

We splurged and purchased a movie that was on sale.

Movie = $9.00.

Hank's Hint: Public libraries are a fantastic source for free movies.

They offer new releases and classics as well as TV series.

Movie snacks are a must even on a budget.

We picked up this $5 snack set which included

2 candy boxes, 2 microwave popcorn bags,

$2 worth of coupons and 4 popcorn bags.

Good for TWO date nights!

Snacks = $2.50

My Date = Priceless

My favorite part of any date is J.

Looking forward to Date Night.

No more missing my husband.

My Cheap Date = $18.01

My Cheaper Date = $9.01

{free library movie instead of splurge}
