I don’t think that I am cheap by any means. If something is worth the money, I am going to make the investment because I think it is worth it. This is particularly true when it comes to my social life and going out to bars and clubs. To me, Houston entertainment interaction is an investment in me and I don’t mind spending money on it. I do have a friend, however, who I would classify as a tightwad. He doesn’t do anything without considering the cost and if there is a way for him to get a deal on it. This is true of how he approaches his social entertainment too. Can you go out every week and be a cheapskate? Sure it can be done, but I don’t know if he is really having as good of a time as possible. He convinced me to tag along with him on a Friday night when he was going to try and do everything as cheaply as possible. I agreed just to see how it would go. We first arrived at one particular dance club that usually has a cover charge. Of course, my friend had coupons to get us in for free. I agreed to use it, even though I felt weird handing the doorman a coupon while he stamped my hand and looked at me. Once we were inside, I thought that would be the end of the tightwad stuff. No such luck as my friend said if we drink the cocktail on the special menu for tonight it is cheaper than anything else on the menu. I already wasn’t looking for to this. He came back to the table with this orange looking drink with an umbrella in it. It tasted terrible, but I drank it anyway to make him happy. So I had to suffer through a night of watered-down drinks. I am pretty sure most of the ladies stayed away from us because they saw us drinking those terrible drinks. After an hour or so, I told my friend I wanted to leave. We were going to hit another bar where my friend had a two-for-one coupon for some bad beer, but I convinced him I was hungry and we stopped for a bite to eat. Of course we had to stop somewhere where the food was cheap – a street vendor hot dog. I took one bite of the hot dog that had been sitting for what I can only guess was hours. Between that and the orange drinks I tossed my cookies. While I agreed with my friend that I didn’t spend more than twenty dollars the whole night, I think I made up the expense on medicine to make my stomach feel better the next day. My advice is don’t always believe all the thrifty people you might come across in your Houston entertainment interaction. It might be better for your health, if not your wallet. Can you do Houston entertainment interaction on a tightwad budget? Spring for electricity you cheapskate and check out our nightlife site. Or go to a coffee house and steal some free Wi-Fi.
