To quote Kelly Ripa

Friday night  my husband wanted pizza. We hadn't gotten pizza in a while and so we first thought of our favorite place in the city, which is walking distance from our house. It's kind of expensive and I do hate that part. So, we paused to think some more.  Then,  he looked at me and said "What about Costco?" We do love Costco pizza. They do have tables. You can get a large pizza for $9.99 (which would last us a few days.)

So in support of what  Kelly Ripa recently said, "Going to Fiji is not marriage, going to Costco is marriage"....off we went. (I think she was referencing The Bachelor/Bachelorette series.)

We walked around for awhile, waiting for our $9.99 pizza to bake and we saw these:

Two movie tickets for $14.99.  (Now, in a few days I am going to post about ways to see/get movies for free, but assuming your city doesn't offer those options), we thought this was a fair deal.

We wondered how many of you would like the idea of your date night being--picking up a couple of these babies while you walk around Costco waiting for your  $9.99 pizza to bake.

Now I realize, that there are a lot of free date night options and $25.00 still may be a little much...but we just had to stop and appreciate Kelly's quote that evening. It was fun to walk around Costco and talk with no real mission in mind. We may be the only people in an America who walked out of Costco that night with no  other purchase in tow.
