STRAPPED FOR CASH  

submitted by: Michelle Robinson

Last Spring my boyfriend and I were both pretty strapped for money. Needing a day away to forget about the bills and household chores, we found a pizza place that had large pizzas on sale for $4.99 (one topping, but we didn't mind). We picked up our pizza and a couple cans of pop, bought two kites at the dollar store, and we headed off to the state park. We ate our lunch and had a wonderful time spending the rest of the day together flying our kites. We joke with each other all the time about being "cheap dates", but it was actually one of the best dates we've ever had.
