Dessert & A Movie for $1.50

[Image via: here]

The washing machine in my apartment started churning out icky, brown liquid yesterday. As the maintenance man stopped by to assess the situation, he let a ginormous bumble bee into the bathroom.

I don't do bees. Or leaks. No, thank you.

For a quick and inexpensive way to put motor oil floods and hostile stinging insects out of my mind, I met with some lovely friends and we used loose change to our sugary benefit. After strolling across the street, enjoying the [at the time] beautiful weather, we arrived at what we consider to be the best, although unexpected,  cheap but delicious fro-yo in town. I'll give you a hint: it's in a warehouse and they card you at the door. Okay, that was two hints.

Some of you may have guessed it:  Costco. May sound like a funny place to get your sweet tooth fix but one look at the customers lined up by the dozen pushes all doubts away. They have chocolate and vanilla fro-yo by the cup, plus different flavors of gelato. A generous helping is only $1.50. Take that, Coldstone.

Add in two free Redbox DVDs, courtesy of money-saving promo codes, and let's call it a bargain night.

Have you been to Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse yet? That's another great and cheap way to get quality entertainment for a bargain. See
http://www.arlingtondrafthouse.com/ and click on movies. We are going to see True Grit on Tuesday for two dollars!

This makes me think of all my Sam's runs for Edge. Each time I went I wanted an Icee, but never got one because I was using a BCM check and definitely didn't want to get Pam mad!

Thanks for the heads up.

Jenn, I have been there! They do have really awesome prices. Thanks for reminding me! Let me know how the movie is :)

Ohhh, Whit. I remember trips to Sam's Club! And our cheesy Mexican dinner beforehand.
