I am proud to say that I am passing on my "thriftiness" to my children. They are learning that you don't have to spend a bundle of money to have fun. Case in point, I have taken both of my boys out on "dates" recently to... wait for it... COSTCO!!!
Many of you may be thinking "Costco??? Trish, Costco is NOT a date!" or "boy she meant it when she said she was cheap!" Well, I have to admit that while it may not be conventional, it was still a date and the Croom Clan thinks of it as a great date!!
Think about what you usually do on a date;
Talk: At Costco we talk about items that we would someday like to own or things that we would never dream of buying. We walk around the store and just enjoy each others company.
Relax: Have you ever tried out the theater chairs or the chairs that have built in back massager? It is so relaxing, Ben and I spent 15 minutes just sitting in the recliners, it was awesome.
Eat: This is one of our favorite reasons for visiting Costco. The "appetizers" they serve are amazing and the best part is, they are free! Micah and I went out on a Costco date we where served tri-tip steak, wild rice, cheese & crackers, pizza, garlic bread and a fizzy drink!
After we finish with the appetizers we then visit the cafe for the main course and dessert. All of this is done for around $5.
So there you have it folks my justification, not that it needs to be justified, of why Costco is a great dating location!
Post's that are coming soon.... "Best happy hour locations!"
