When people think of date night they tend to think of going out to a fancy restaurant and seeing a movie afterward. While there is nothing wrong with the cliché dinner and movie for some couples going out for dates isn’t within their budget. Dinner at a reasonably priced restaurant ranges anywhere between $30-$40 plus a tip. Movie ticket prices are around $10-$15 per person not to mention the price of snacks like popcorn, drinks, and candy. If you’re a couple that’s trying to pay off debt or trying to save money spending that amount of money on a weekly basis isn’t really doable.

In a few weeks, I will be attending Planet Comic-Con. It is the largest comic book and pop culture convention in the Midwest area. My first Convention was back in 2011 it was a small local anime convention and ever since then, I’ve been hooked. I enjoy traveling to different types of conventions and meeting people with similar interest.

I’ve been married for five years and my husband and I have a lot in common. We both enjoy playing videos games, traveling, and watching movies. One thing that we don’t have in common is our diet choices. I’ve been a vegetarian for about two years now and, he’s an omnivore. When it comes to picking restaurants and meal planning it is difficult to find common ground. In the beginning, it wasn’t an easy task trying to make our mixed diet household work. I found myself often not knowing what to prepare for meals or what restaurants to dine at.
