Go See A Romantic Movie

There is something about going to see a movie with your significant other that is very romantic.  You are sharing an experience together that you can talk about later. 

For the fellas, seeing a romantic movie is something that your girlfriend knows that you probably don’t want do do but we guarantee that it will earn you some much needed cool points.

Take her to see The Vow starring Rachel McAdams & Channing Tatum  Based on the true story of a newlywed couple recovering from an accident that puts the wife in a coma who then wakes up with severe memory loss. 

Luckily for you it’s a Tuesday and most movie theaters offer a bargain matinee day on Tuesday where you should be able to get tickets for $10 or less.

Make A Relationship Scrapbook

All you need for this one is the actual scrapbook and a printer.  If you want to get fancy you can print out your pictures professionally but it’s not totally necessary. 

You may even be able to make a digital scrapbook of all of your pictures together since you and your significant other started dating. 

It’s a sentimental gift that doesn’t have to cost you much at all and your boyfriend/girlfriend will be sure to love that you took the time to make it.

Financial Tip Of The Day

Avoid The Vending Machines
Almost everything that is dispensed via vending machines has a huge markup (and is rarely healthy). However, if you suffer from snack attacks at work, consider creating a secret stash of snacks.

If you like drinking soda and have a fridge at the workplace, save a refrigerator pack in the fridge with a post-it with your name on it. If you have a long commute, consider a stash for the car as well and avoid a quick drive-thru visit.
