I can’t tell you how obsessed I am with bargains and haggling. I haggle when there is no need to haggle, I ask for extras and perks when I’m full and satisfied. Basically I don’t understand the word no, or the phrase girl, know your limits. It must be that immigrant mentality my parents passed on. I recall a tweet I sent out a couple weeks back in which I said that I refuse to go on Tuesday dates. I probably should have been more clear

Before I go on, there are 4 more days to vote! Vote Goddess Intellect for Best International Blog & Best Podcast Series in the 2011 Black Weblog Awards. We got this!! I refuse to go on a first date on a Tuesday, up here in my corner of the globe the day is synonymous with specials and deals. I feel as though it is corny to suggest going to a two for one buffet or cheap movie night on a first date (not real examples). Keyword FIRST.

I suppose this makes me a big ass hypocrite, the fact that I will talk down a shop owner on a $10 item but turn my nose up at the thought of stepping out with a dude on Milestone’s date night (a real example). I suppose if we were to go out without the expectation of using a coupon and a deal happen to be on at that particular time I would be cool with it. In fact those are the best deals, the deals you don’t have to lose your voice over

So be it an issue I need to work through or something I have to live with I strongly believe that on a first date you should put your best foot forward meaning that an element of surprise should be there. I’m not saying don’t pull out those Groupon and Team buy coupons ever but to depend on them to have a good time on a first date…nope not my style. We are in a whirlwind economy at the moment and at my age I’m more focused on buying that house with a dog and parlance friendly backyard
