We wanted to go out today, but knew that we had spent all of our entertainment budget on our trip this month, so we had to get creative. We just happened to be discussing how we haven't had much luck selling Sky's textbooks on Amazon, which gave me a brilliant idea. We decided to pack up our duffel bag with all of our unneeded textbooks and then take our chances at a used book shop. We decided that whatever money we made we would be able to spend on our date. Now we expected this to be upwards of $5 and a dollar menu date because we hadn't had luck in the past. However, we lucked out with a whopping $70! We were pretty stoked and couldn't stop laughing at ourselves.
We used our unexpected cash to go to a sushi place for lunch and wander the mall with actual spending money. We had a great time and have some money left to burn a few holes in our pockets. We'll have to try another book shop during the winter term!

that's awesome! tom and i counted all the change we've collected and it totaled $65...but it's being used as bus money - not quite as fun as a spontaneous date. :)
