Trying to save money on dates and shit? This is probably going to be the best advice I can give you on this blog. Of course you already know what I'm going to say, it's in the title. It's simple. Be late.
Just think about a movie date. This advice will work in every city but New York City and holiday nights in Miami.
Schedule a date to the last possible movie that night. Make sure the reason why you have to go to a movie so late is money related. This will eventually be the same reason why you are late to the movies. Nowadays movies are $12-$18 a ticket times two people. The snacks (popcorn, candy, and drinks) will run you another $16+. A date to the movies could be $50+ easily. This doesn't even include the essential before or after movie dinner which will coast you anywhere from $30 to $80 for an average person.
On the contrary, in-home movie night costs very little. Redbox $1. Popcorn out of walmart $4 (10pack). Chicken, vegetable and rice, juice (basic ass dinner) $20. Right now our budget is half of that of the movie date and already includes dinner. Add a $12 bottle of wine for the ladyfriend. You should already have a bottle of something in your house for you to drink. In this budget we can even include a $3 box of condoms. Literally, more bang for your buck.
Don't be dumb though. If you purchased these tickets in advance, be early.
In my church date post, I explained the benefits of going to church late. In the movies section of this post, I included dinner dates as well. I'm going to return to this subject at a later date.
