Planning for the anniversary

January 27th, 2007 at 06:15 am

I decided to be prepared for our anniversary this year. I wanted to impress DH. He is the one that likes to firmly place our money difficulties on me (and probably 85% is!)So I bought a card (.99) and some Sour Skittles (.69) for his gift! :-) Then I cashed in some Mypoints for two $10 gift cards to Red Lobster and I have a $4 off coupon on two entrees (oh, how romantic) that will NOT expire till 2/22. (I have a habit of keeping coupons well past expiration, then being bummed when I go to use them, so I checked in ADVANCE!)If I can keep alcoholic beverages from entering the bill, I can sneak a little more from the grocery budget to cover it.
I would also like to be extravagant and treat him to a movie (I know, I'm a show off), but I only have $7.25 left on my gift card. Not sure if I can squeek more out of the grocery budget, but we'll see!
Our anniversary is next Friday the 2nd (Groundhog Day!) Will let you know how my "surprise" goes!

    There's nothing wrong with saving on your anniversary! I cant say it makes things any more romantic, but it shows that you're willing to sacrifice some things (the little from the grocery budget) and be creative to come up with the funds to pull off a nice evening! Kudos to you!

    happy anniversary... ours is the 3rd so i've been thinking about it too...
    sounds like you are doing good.. it is the thought after all... I'm going to surprise DH by making him a handmade card with supplies i already have... other than that, we might take a scenic drive, go out to lunch somewhere off the beaten path (we prefer less crowds and our anniversary falls on a saturday) and then come home and enjoy a DVD...

    We celebrate two anniversaries each year...the day we met and the day we married....We met on February 3rd...so we will celebrate that anniversary this weekend!! DH got a GC for Outback for Christmas and so we are using that.

    Sounds like you have a good plan in the works!!! I hope your anniversary plans are a success!!!
