An anniversary well thought out....
Yesterday was our 8 year wedding anniversary! It seems just about every year we have felt that we had to be careful with our money, but still try to make it special.
This year we have the added motivation of working through the 'Financial Peace University' by Dave Ramsey (who I will sing the praises of in a future post). So instead of just trying to keep it 'not too crazy', we attached a dollar amount to our date night. We thought we were pretty successful and I thought I should share. Our challenge was to go to a fancy dinner and spend $100 for the whole night....that may sound like a lot or a little - but we thought it was a good number and it had been saved up for.
We decided to go th 333 Pacific in Oceanside - which is AWESOME, but not at all inexpensive (at least from where we sit)
1st tip - my husband went to Costco and purchased a $100 gift card for $80 - this gift card is not only good for 333 Pacific, but several other anniversary worthy restaurants.
2nd tip - We took advantage of their 'happy hour' - obviously it would have saved $$ to not have a drink at all, but we did save $2 off of each drink. We also treated ourselves to a DELICIOUS & healthy shrimp cocktail.
3rd tip - Monday's & Tuesday's 333 Pacific has a GREAT deal - a 3 course dinner for $33 each - we each had an amazing salad, steak with broccilini & potatoes, and the single most amazing chocolate dessert of all time.
Total bill ~ $100.60 - so with our $100 gift card (that only cost $80) & our 20% tip (server was great by the way =)) we went over our original plan by 60 cents - not too shabby.
Luckily the good people at ABC saved us the trouble of paying to go to a movie by bringing back LOST on our anniversary = FREE 'movie'
I'm not sure if this is blog worthy....but we took advantage of several money saving strategies at once and easily could have spent ALOT more money for the same date and felt it might be a helpful example.
