Cheap Date Idea on Smitten!

Economy got your love down? Then check out my cheap date idea on Smitten, a daily sex and relationships (and hilariously wonderful) blog on Glamour. Hint...in involves BEER and your guy will LOVE it! AND...it's still fun to do if you're single!

Thank you Joanna, famous writer of Smitten and A Cup of Jo, for the fun feature. Dave and I had a blast on our cheap date and we were so excited to share. Check it out! (and if you feel inclined leave a little comment love)

PS. I apologize for the bad, dark photo. A combination of low lighting, not so great digital camera, and a tipsy guy taking the picture.

Oh - and welcome Smitten readers! So nice to meet you. Introduce yourself and get started on the fun by submitting your old holiday photos!

    Brewery tours are the best! Here in Portland, we're really really spoiled for choices. I'm in a long distance relationship too, although the bf is in NZ, so our cheap dates ain't so cheap!!! However, this is a great idea!

    Great idea! We have several local breweries in our neck of the woods... we'll have to try this!

    This post also reminds me of the time my hubby turned to me and with a smile on his face said "You're great because you're such a cheap date!" I know he meant it as a compliment, (and it's true... I am easily entertained and delighted) but when he said it I wasn't all that thrilled!
