I splurge on foods. It's lots less expensive than eating out and both DH and I love to cook together. So it's a pretty cheap date all told. But I'll buy yellow fin tuna at $22 a pound, figuring that the $22 is still lots less than going to a 4star restaurant. Our food usually is as good as theirs too (in our humble opinions and those of our friends~!). Basically, I've been quilting from my stash for the past two years, so that's no money spent. I carry my lunch and breakfast to work. We bought a cappuccino machine 10 years ago for $200 so don't need Starbucks anymore. I even make my own cinnamon syrup for the coffee. I figure we deserve to eat quality as we want!
