Date Night : Dollar Tree Hunt

Taylor has his first test of dental school TODAY! Can you believe it? It feels like they just started school...oh wait, they did. :) Because this was his first test (lab practical as well) we decided we should go with a green card date night. Taylor drew last week so we could plan accordingly! He drew:

Dollar Tree Hunt : Let's go to the Dollar Tree with $4/each with a mission : 1 - the worst gift 2 - the best gift 3 - the ugliest item 4 - best value - ALL in 15 minutes

Once Taylor was ready for date night to start on Saturday I set the timer for 90 minutes and said GO! He took a shower and got ready and we headed to the dollar tree, date night card in hand to remind us what we were looking for! Once we walked through the doors we both set our timers for 15 minutes (the date timer was at 1 hour on the dot so that was helpful!) and set off on our mission. 15 minutes later we met in the check out line, took our bags and left. We decided we wouldn't look at our purchases until we got home and could choose who won each category. We then went to Whataburger for dinner! We were so fortunate that in the first week of dental school we came across a total of FIVE BOGOs for meals! We know eating in is always cheapest, but it is so nice to eat out every now and then and a BOGO makes it even better! So we used our BOGO at Whataburger, and headed home! **Side Note - while I'm thinking about it, if you want a BOGO yourself, Chipotle is offering one now! All you have to do is take this quiz and they will text you a BOGO! So if you have two cells phone in your family, you can get two BOGOs! Awesome, right!?**

Here are our purchases - You judge and tell me who you think won each category!

The Worst Gift

 Taylor - Nacho Cheese Dip in a can :: Paige - Chicken Salad in a can (with crackers)
