The "How To" thread
We're all good at something, so this thread is for little bits of advice here in there. We need some good conversation up here right now, and I was inspired to do this regarding PeaSoupintheEyes thread. He/she got two very nice responses from Roderick_Usher & Crabapple, which made for a great read. Doesn't matter how professional it is or what the subject matter, just how to do something that you'd like to share.
So to start, I offer up:
How to have a great night for $20
1.) Get to your local Wal-Mart. They usually have a good bargain bin. I find most of them have classic horror movie 2-packs for $5.50. I picked up Night of the Living Dead & Carnival of Souls this way.
2.) On to the local carryout. You should be able to find a nice sized bottle of cheap Vodka for around $10. Vodka doesn't have much of a taste, so you can mix it with about anything you want. OJ is always nice, and the frozen cans will run you about $.99 each. One should be enough for the purpose.
3.) The local grocer usually has some cheap oven bake pizzas for around $1 each. Grab a can of mushrooms or olives or an onion/whatever for around $.99 to add to them a little.
Get home, turn off the lights and hang out with a good buddy. You'll be watching classic horror, drinking screwdrivers & eating a decent meal for $20.
