$30 Date Night

This past Saturday night, my boyfriend and I decided to do a date night. We hadn't gone out on a proper date in a while so we decided to make a night of it and do dinner and a show.

For dinner, we went to one of our favorite Italian restaurants. A couple of weeks ago, they were on groupon: $9 for $20 worth of food. I used $9 groupon credit I had left (credit was for a referral) so it was free! Our total after the groupon, tax and tip was just $10!

I am a huge fan of the musical RENT and in the three years we've been together, I had never dragged taken my boyfriend to see it (I'll spare myself the embarrassment of how many times I've seen it). I saw that Goldstar had tickets for a local production of it on sale for $10, so I jumped on the deal. The show was actually pretty high caliber and we both had a great time.

So all in all, we spent $30 for a really nice sit down dinner and a great show. Goes with my mantra that your social life doesn't have to suffer simply because you're on a budget. It just takes a little bit of planning :)

    I'm in Santa Clarita. My partner works in Mission Hills and We've eaten there a few times( they seem to always have groupons or screaming deals). The lunch specials combined with the groupon make for a cheap lunch.
