Looking for an inexpensive date this weekend? Then look no further. I have an idea that shouldn’t cost you a cent.

Go to www.Hulu.com and watch your favorite shows you and your sweetheart haven’t had a chance to watch because you have been too busy. Make a pizza with leftover chicken, pork or steak. Use Boboli Pizza Bread to make your pizza night quick & easy.

Barbequed Chicken Pizza

Barbeque Sauce (your favorite bottled barbeque sause)

Left over chicken, pork or steak cubed

Frozen Corn

Thinly sliced onion (preferably red onion)

Pepper Jack Cheese, Mozzarella, and Jack Cheese (Whatever you have on hand)

Pour a little barbeque sauce on the Boboli Bread, sprinkle the chicken, a little frozen corn and thinly sliced onions on top. Bake at 450° on oven rack for 10 minutes add cheese and put back in oven until melted. Yum!

Don’t like Barbequed Chicken Pizza then go to  www.boboli.com and you will not believe all the pizzas you can make in no time at all. From appetizers to desserts, let your imagination run.

Sit back with a beverage of your choice, your homemade pizza and catch up on the shows you have been missing on Hulu with your sweetheart. No driving around to find a parking place, no crowds, no waitress bothering you. It doesn’t get any better than this hugged up to your sweetie pie.

Now that tax time is over it is time to get back on track by putting your $5 a week away for your romantic weekend. Are you getting any money back from the state or federal income tax? What are you planning on doing with the money? Hopefully, it will be put to good use.

Here are some suggestions on what to do to help improve your relationship:

• Deposit the money in your savings account for emergencies. (Helps to keep a stress free marriage for those unexpected emergencies we all have in life)

• Pay off an outstanding bill (Have a plan this year to live debt free)

• Put it toward designing a romantic bedroom for you and your sweetheart

• Plan a romantic getaway

Whatever you decide to do be wise with the money you do get. Try to put some money away for a rainy day and put some towards romance with your sweetheart.

The Today Show had Sarah Spagnolo from Travel & Leisure Magazine on before Valentine’s Day to discuss last minute getaway deals for Valentines. Now I know we have already passed Valentine’s Day but this shouldn’t stop you from looking into one of these places to bring your sweetheart for your anniversary. Remember these beautiful romantic places are not just for Valentines.

Watch the video and see if there is a place not too far from where you live and find out what the prices are on your anniversary date. Then do the math and figure out much money you need to put aside each week to make it happen for your  anniversary.
