For day 2 of our staycation we took our son to see Jurassic World. Our local Regal Theater has $5 Tuesday's. First we went to our local Walgreens and bought 3 of their theater candy that they had on sale 3 for $3 this week. It was $15 for the 3 of us to go to an evening movie. We did splurge on pop and popcorn at the theater ($22). Total for the 3 of us to go was $40 for everything.On a side note, there was a baby in the theater. I realize that there are going to be many people who think we bring our 8 year old to movies that are too old for him. He sees all the super hero movies that are PG13 and action movies like Transformers, Turtles, etc. But a baby who was only like 4 months old? I don't know. I thought it was kind of intense for a baby.
Then we went to Denny's for dinner since kid's eat free for dinner on Tuesday's. Plus, we had a 20% off coupon. The total for the 3 of us was $23.00 plus tip. I did have a weird conversation with my husband on the way home. He said he hates using coupons at restaurants, it makes him feel cheap. I don't understand this at all. We saved almost $6 using this coupon. I don't see what the big deal is. I guess I am more on the frugal train then he is. We are just starting this frugal journey and I guess we are just on a different learning curve.
Still we had a fun evening. And that was the most important part, spending time together just the 3 of us,
Total Spent Day 2: $68.00
Total Spent On Staycation: $101.00
