Yes! I
renamed the challenge! :)
I decided to do this challenge for a few reasons.
One of them being that I am currently doing the 52 Week Money
Challenge. (http://doublesavingdivas.com/2013/01/08/52-week-money-challenge/)
with a few friends.
Also I wanted to challenge myself to make the most of the time I
spend with my sweetheart. We have a wonderful time with each other. I want to
continue to make fond memories to reflect upon. :)
Lastly, I am a very frugal young woman being that I pay for my own
education, I am ALWAYS looking to spare a couple of dollars. *Ahem, ain't
nothing wrong with saving some cash!*
Kiesha & I had a conversation about adjusting the amount
marker for the challenge to $20 instead of $10 because... "we love to
eat!"
So do I! *rubs tummy slowly*
The Rules:
For 3 Months & 12 dates you must record in a note or post a
photo of your frugal date. With each posting, please include your date activity,
meal and cost.
At the end of challenge thank Noah & I for making your pockets
fatter! LOL..
No seriously....
At the end of the challenge, the last couple or person standing
will receive a FREE $20 gift card!
WOOT! FREE MONEY!
(You must complete 12 DATES to be selected!)
I would suggest that you all make use of blogs, Groupon, your
local library, and even Craiglist to explore ideas for your dates.
Here's a date example:
*Note: I am a weirdo. I love to do odd things so keep in mind that
your dates (being with/out a partner can be as strange as mines or weirder.
LOL)
Saturday: Selecting a Wine for a Later Date at Trader Joe's :
