Last night, Jessica and I had a great time without spending too much money!

First, a little background. Whenever we can, the Mrs. and I sign up for loyalty clubs or coupon programs from our local restaurants. One of our local favorites is Uno's Chicago Bar and Grill. As part of their Insider's Club, we receive $10 off coupons all the time with no purchase required and various other perks. This week in our email, we received an offer to buy one entree, get one free.

Excited to head out the door, we went to print our promotional email but found both our printers were broken. We were both hungry, but did our best to follow our own advice from Chapter 4 of our relationship advice book regarding Laugh, Don't B**ch. After 30 minutes of playful techno-struggle, we achieved success and had our coupon in hand!

After a great $12 meal (which included a steak for me), we came back home to our stuffed DVR and snuggled up for a TV marathon. Microwaved popcorn and a home-made sundae dessert kept things interesting throughout the evening. One tip we like to follow while glued to the tube: always make eye contact with each other during commercials and strike up a conversation. Remember - this is togetherness time!

So, have fun and remember that the best things in life are free... well, cheap!

What do you have planned with your loved one this weekend?
