Economically Friendly Dating

My goodness, the discussion of who pays has finally met its match, No One! Not funny, I know. Let's get down to what can we do to celebrate our date without suffering any overhead costs. It all comes down to the basics of courtship...the old-fashioned way.

A stroll along the Atlantic Ocean, through one of our beautiful State Parks (don't forget the picnic), or through one of our small lovely towns ( ice cream is always a perk). Let's face it we need to think outside of the box and staying home is not happening - regardless of our economic crisis.

Look towards your local high school drama clubs for some exceptional plays - always leaving you with plenty to talk about. The Spring offers school concerts both chorus and band - most are for free. Have you been to the library lately, many many movies are being played - for FREE! Check out the website of the local library in your neighborhood or his/hers.

Another fun date idea, is game night...always fun to get together with friends - there are so many great game ideas out there - including a good old-fashioned poker game - using re-gifts as your funds.
All of these ideas are great - but the main idea is that you need to seek out the resources right in your own backyard, New Jersey!
It's my turn!

Ahhhh, The Holiday Parties!

Break Free from the Holiday Party Stress. Is it really necessary to attend a holiday party for the whole time? Come on, the food, the beverages, the songs, the red, the green, and the black - so done! Stop in and say hello - bring a small housewarming gift - then head off to something more eventful and less stressful - like chillin' by a warm fire. Holiday parties to me - I've seen them all - bored by most - except for the one year I pulled out Twister. This season, make it meaningful, visit an older relative or adopt a pet - make it exciting...your date will thank you! Merry Christmas!
