Are you saying I'm a cheap date?

Are you tired of blowing your paycheck on dinner and a movie?

 Bored of doing the same thing for date night, week after week?

 Here are a few silly, a few fun, and a few romantic ideas on the cheap.

 Winery Tour/Beer Tasting (21+ Please)
Check out your local breweries and wineries and see if they offer any tours. Sometimes they are free and have tasting afterward. I checked out LivingSocial and got a discounted deal You get to learn about how beer and wine is made and then feel super sophisticated drinking it knowledgeably. If there aren't any alcohol-making places near you, go to a liquor store where they have a huge selection. Pick out some beers (this is where make-your-own-six-pack comes in handy) and bring them home. Don't forget the pretzels! 

 The Zoo
Seriously, how long has it been since you've been? It's cheaper to go on a non-weekend day, but the money still goes to a good cause. If there isn't a zoo nearby, you could check out any petting zoo or farms in the area. This could be even more fun because you get to feed the llamas!

 Sunset
Warning: Super romantic
Pack up a picnic and head out to the best spot to watch the sunset. I recently found a beautiful orchard that stills on top of a valley and can see for miles. You can easily look up the times and arrive a little bit early to enjoy your sammies. Don't forget the bug spray!

 Local Museum
Does your town have a local museum/roadside attraction? Of course it does! My guess is you've driven by, heard of it, but never actually been. Take your date to support the arts and browse the area. You will probably learn something you didn't know you didn't know.

 Dog Park
So you have a dog, right? And he just kinda sits around at home, see. Well, here is the perfect opportunity to give your dog some much needed exercise AND do date night. Watching your dog run around and play with other buddies may just get you two playful as well. Amirite?
I also found this really awesome app, called Circle. You punch in your location and it shows you upcoming events. It has some categories that you can pick from, like 'on a budget', 'just chill' and then you pick the day and it shows you the different opportunities nearby! Happy hunting.

5 Top Christmas Movies

I love Christmas movies. Probably more than the normal amount. Every year there a few that i can't wait to watch. Here's a list of my top five favorites. 5.) Home Alone Gotta love a kid that thinks he made his family disappear, then realizes that's all he wants for Christmas. And Buzz... 4.) A Christmas Story Set in the good ole 1940's, this movie brings you back to a time when you got soap in your mouth for swearing and all a kid wanted was an official Red Ryder BB rifle. It's also hilariously ironic without trying. Who can't remember when dear mom would dress you like this for your own good? 3.) National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation You gotta admire Clark Griswold's tenacity of trying to give his family the best for the holiday season. It's not his fault that every time he tries, some hilarious disaster ensues. Plus, you know this is how you feel when you get your Christmas bonus. 2.) Elf Made in 2003, at...

Homemade Dog Treats

Attention all dog owners! Do you sometimes feel guilty for not making your dog's food? Do you feel like there is not enough time in your day to give your dog the wholesome nutrients that he could get from homemade dog treats? Well, fear not! For I have come up with the easiest recipe for dog ice cream. Read: it's only 2 ingredients. It takes 5 minutes, minus freezing time. This is a tried and true recipe that my dogs have tested and enjoy. Please keep in mind not to try this if your dog has any allergies to these 2 ingredients. What you will need: Plain yogurt Peanut butter-crunchy or not-whatever your dog likes a bowl a spoon ice cube tray freezer that's it  How to: Mix the yogurt and the peanut butter together with the spoon in the bowl. I usually eyeball the ingredients. My dogs don't care. Your dogs probably won't either. Scoop the mixture into an ice cube tray. I used a standard one for a while until I bought a special smaller size one with rubber...
