A Cheap Birthday Thrill

Posted by Frugal Dater On August - 29 - 2011

You know when somebody’s birthday comes around that you never know what to get them?

Well I’ve come across a GREAT idea that’s not only fun but doesn’t break the bank (and could actually make the bank – but don’t count on it).

First start off at the dollar store or discount and get a funny card ( it’s hard to find in there sometimes through all the crap that’s left over in there but paying a buck vs paying up to $6) There’s a reason that all the card companies are going out of business these days….

Now You Can Have the Perfect Valentines Gift for Less than $20

Posted by Frugal Dater On January - 24 - 2011

Cheap Valentines ideas under $20It’s that time of year again, when daters show their affection for each other in lavish displays of gifts and goodies.

We’re half-way through January and the red heart displays are out all over the various stores however if you look past the main pre-packed displays and shop at one or two places, then you can put together your own gift package for much less.

Now if you’re past the first or second date with the girl you’re seeing then a valentines day showering of love is a must. The worst part is that retailers know it and are ready for you to open up your wallet.

This is not the time for some hand made trinket however, you’re not a 3rd grader bringing home a paper heart to mom.

With all the snow that’s come down in the north east in this winter, this presents the perfect opportunity to make one (or more) of those magic moments.

These moments can happen inside or outside and don’t take credit cards, but you might want to keep your digital camera or cellphone camera handy so that you can share your magic moment with all your facebook fans.

FrugalDate – Raleigh,NC – Free concert

Posted by Frugal Dater On September - 3 - 2010

A free concert festival is coming up for in Raleigh called Hopscotch.

The event will be called Hopscotch and will occur from September 9th-11th in multiple indoor music venues in Downtown Raleigh as well as a big “main stage” presence in City Plaza on Fayetteville Street. .

Over the past 5-10 years music festivals have become very widespread throughout the country, most of which are outside on some large vacant land. Hopscotch will be different. It will be urban and celebrate Raleigh as an emerging metropolis and a center of musical buzz. The shift towards Raleigh as the center of this buzz seems to be solidified by the Indy’s choice to hold the fest in downtown. That or the fact that Raleigh as a metropolis will bring in more attendants.
