Scrimping

Being on a tight budget is never fun, but it is a huge lesson in discipline and test of our wills. Lately, we have been trying to find free or cheap things to do and eat and we've had some luck! This week, Myspace and Sonic hosted a free screening of The Rocker (Rainn Wilson), which was great! They only did this screening in five cities and wouldn't you know it just happened to be in our city and at our theater. We had a great time! We also found that we could eat HyVee Chinese food (which we love!) for $6 total! We shared and it was more than enough food. We share a lot because portions are ridiculous these days! Other things we can share for $5...Subway footlong, Quiznos sub and Dominos pizza! I love saving money. Last night we used our coupons from Sonic from the free screening and had two sundaes for $2 total! Ahh, life is good.

Tomorrow we will venture out to see Batman and hope it's not too crowded. We are going early so it only costs $5/ticket instead of $8! Then, it's off to see the Foo Fighters for $10 (parking) thanks to our wonderful brother Nate! That's right...free Foo Fighters, eat it up. :)

On another note, I finally got to use our re-useable grocery bags from Target and they are fabulous! Yay for being "green"!

More later on ways we're saving money on necessities.
