Wifey and I rarely go out, so last night was the exception with the only aside being we went out last week as well when we met up with my sister and brother-in-law at a local bar and restaurant called Charlie's Place.
I told her it won't be an every week thing, but maybe getting out every once in a while will be a nice change of pace.
Last night we decided to hit up our favorite Mexican restaurant in the downtown area where we live called Margarita's. I had a combo plate, which is per my usual, and she had a taco salad, and for drinks she got a strawberry margarita and I got my traditional Sol with a lime in it.
Yummy stuff. And it didn't set us back too badly. $63 with tip.

@2ndchances24 The stock market paid for it. You don't think I'd actually spend money out of pocket do you?

It didn't set you back to bad ? ARE YOU KIDDING ?
I have & WOULD NEVER go to a place that cost that kind of
$ not even if it was a family get together, I'd stay at home &
make it a family night out in the back yard it's a lot cheaper.1 person likes this

@2ndchances24 I agree with you mostly. But you have to live too. I have made a nice bit of money for us over the years. What's the point if we can't enjoy some of it? Our reward was buying the camper, enjying some camping trips through the summer, enjoying a little bit of gambling, and the occasional night out. It doesn't break us, so why not?
We scrimp on so many things. It's nice to breathe every once in a while and enjoy what we have worked so hard to achieve.

@porwest I'd rather starve or eat at home B-4 I pay that kind of $
it's a H3LL of a lot cheaper to buy the foods you can cook at home
& stop supporting high rate places to drop their prices.

With a name like Charlie's Place, you can't go wrong. Kind of like All in the Family's "Archie's Place" a bar venture Archie Bunker bought and ran. 
Maybe in time we can afford more dining out experiences now that there's going to be a new president in town. 
Margaritta's are yummy!

it's always nice to go out with your spouse - as long as you can afford it
