"Lately J and I have been feeling like we&amp;amp;#8217;re spending too much money. Even though we&amp;amp;#8217;re living together and splitting the bills, it still seems like we should (and could) be saving more each month (hey, we don&amp;amp;#8217;t want to live in a one-bedroom apartment forever!). J came up with the perfect solution: Every other month we would try an Under $100 Challenge. Not just any Under $100 Challenge, though. This is an alternating month sex toy/date night challenge. One month we&amp;amp;#8217;ll plan a nice date night and everything included HAS to add up to under $100. That means the meal, drinks, cab and froyo (or, you know, whatever we choose). If I just happen to &amp;amp;#8220;need&amp;amp;#8221; a new dress for the date, then that has to be factored in as well (guess that means I will be recycling date outfits!). I love this idea. Why should a night out have to break the bank? But the other half of J&amp;amp;#8217;s idea (which he&amp;amp;#8217;s completely psyched about)&amp;amp;#133; the sex toy part? He said, to spice up our relationship, on the opposite month of date night we would hit up a sex shop and pick out something new to use in bed (and then, you know, use it). Lingerie for me, handcuffs for him: we could get whatever we want as long as the price tag does not exceed $99. I have to admit, I&amp;amp;#8217;m a little iffy about this one. I like the spicing up part, but how many sex toys and naughty outfits are we going to wind up with? Are we going to need a bigger apartment just to house these kinky new accessories? Sorry, I&amp;amp;#8217;m rambling. But you get the point. It&amp;amp;#8217;s a pretty good idea, in theory, if the romantic nights really do balance out the frisky ones. J and I are starting this once we get back from our cruise (details to come!) and maybe we&amp;amp;#8217;ll start off with sex toy night. Hey, J came up with the idea and the least I can do is try it out, right? Would you try this Under $100 Challenge? Have any ideas for a great Under $100 date J and I can try? Would you try the Under $100 sex toy challenge?
