Experience a new town.

Want to go on a romantic adventure? Well if your funds are limited like most people today, why not just go someplace that you have never been. Pick a near by town you have never been to maybe they might be having a festival or a special event going on that you can check out. You don't have to have an agenda. Just go explore the town, walk around downtown and experience how the community works. Find the local hot spots and pick a local restaurant for lunch to get a better feel for the town. Take your time and spend a good portion of the day taking in the sights, finding parks or trails, take in all you can and bank it for future references. Who knows you might find a place that you would like to move to at a future time. Make sure to take your camera and document your findings, heck make a scrap book of your adventures.

Surprise ME!

We all made Christmas list when we were younger and we still like to get things that we want this day and age. However, I think several people still miss the meaning behind the gift giving. This is a celebration of love and happiness. We get to show our loved ones that we care about them, the thing that really gets lost at this time of year is the old saying "It is the thought that counts" The price and item itself are not the important part of the season, we are not in competition. Get the idea out of your head that the size or cost of the gift tell you how much someone cares about you. You need to be thankful that you have someone in your life that cares enough to go out and purchase you something because they love or care about you. Understanding that just getting a gift is something several people would find extremely important and some people simply can't afford big expensive gifts. Remember being in love doesn't have to cost you. Another thing I like to caution people on is saying that Santa only brings presents to good boys and girls. There are several children out there that get nothing for Christmas and they aren't bad children. It might be a case of a parent getting laid off work or a family struggling to just pay their bills. Whatever the cause the children shouldn't be made to feel like they did something to desire no presents from the jolly man. A nice surprise might be to find out one of these families and either purchase items for them or go through some of your old things and find toys or clothes that would help them out. You might be amazed at how good you will feel by doing this.

Another Great way to save some money to do something fun.

Are you still looking for ways to stash a little cash away? Well here is a suggestion on eating that could save you some cash. Split your meals. With the economy in the shape it is in. I am seeing several restaurants offering meals at greatly reduced prices to get people in the door. This is a great way for you to save some money. First of all find a larger meal and split it between the two of you. Most meals at restaurants are large enough that you can split and still feel pretty full. Make sure not to all into things like drinks and appetizers at these restaurants. Yes they are good but they will make the bill go up quickly. Get water to drink at places it is free then if you want a soda later get one out of the vending machine or at home, they are much cheaper.

Another idea is to find a buffet that offers carry out. They will usually charge you for one person then give you a box to fill up. If you know things your partner likes you can easily get two meals in the box for the price of one. I have a friend that will fill his box at the Chinese restaurant and then make three meals out of it for $5.75. Now that is a bargain. If you just use your brain a little you can save quite a bit of money. Many years ago McDonald's offered $25 cent hamburgers and then the cheeseburgers were .69 cents. Well we found out that adding cheese to a sandwich only cost .20 cents at that time. So we would order hamburgers and add cheese to make the cheeseburger .45 cents! Make sure to check out other great ways to save money in this manner. Keep track of what you save and put it away for a trip or something special for the two of you.
