Recipe for a good evening....

Take one Groupon which lets you eat a $30 family dinner for just $15 (note: make sure you order yourself a sangria as part of that dinner), add frozen yogurt with toppings of your choosing, and finish it off with playing around in the jumping fountains at The Triangle (even though it's starting to get chilly).

 Now that's one good evening!

If you want it to be a GREAT one, make sure you drop by Half Price Books on the way home so your daughter can get some Animorph books and your son can get a new Where's Waldo. If you're really lucky, your husband will come across a book exploring the literary style of Phillip Pullman on the discount table and buy it for you. 

Life is good. And all for a grand total of about $25.
