it really depends on where you end up going... say you're planning a slightly more upscale date night with your girl, maybe hit up a nice steakhouse for a full three-course meal from appetizers to dessert plus some wine, you're looking at maybe $100 (though I guess that's totally dependent on what you're ordering and drinking) and if you decide to grab drinks at a club later on, you might drop another $133 so we're talking roughly $67 per person if you want a solid dinner and a few good drinks.

Morgan Walker5 said:Hey there! I am genuinely curious about how much you all typically shell out for a single Saturday night out. My household was actually embroiled in an intense debate over this very topic today. As you can tell by my current situation, I didn't end up going anywhere because my husband refuses to step foot outside unless he has at least $167 tucked away in his pocket! Personally, I find that requirement a bit excessive; I would be perfectly happy heading out with significantly less.
I am quite interested to hear your thoughts on this, especially from married couples who still make an effort to go out together!
Honestly, your husband sounds reasonable, particularly when considering the two of you are heading out together. For me, whenever I decide to hit the town, my absolute minimum budget is $167, and even then, I have to watch every penny. You have to factor in the cover charge at a club or a lounge, buying a round for someone—which, mind you, means you’re obligated to return the favor later if you live in the same city—and finally, ensuring I have enough left in the morning to grab something to eat, like a breakfast sandwich from a diner. So, we are looking at $167 minimum, and that is assuming you spend the entire night sprinting away from people you actually know.

Honestly, that feels like a bit much to me—I’d be happy to head out with way less than that.

50-$33.
Maybe ask him if he's on something

When I was actually up for it, you weren't.😛

It really depends... If we're just wandering around town, maybe $30 to $17, but if we grab some pizza or something, you're looking at at least $50. And if we hit up a movie theater? Yeah, plan on $50 to $23... ☕

Susan Mendoza71 said:Exactly. I needed enough cash to feel comfortable. Back in the day, even twenty bucks felt like a lot when the cover charge alone was basically the price of a drink and beer was actually affordable. 😁
The policy was that you could redeem from $3.25, but if you ordered something for six dollars—say, a pear cider—they wouldn't just hand you four bucks back. You’d end up walking around with two drinks in your hands because that four-dollar difference was basically just pocket change 😍..
And since I'd already spent it, I’d just end up ordering two more drinks to make it worth it by the end of the night..
God, those old venues... 😍

Honestly, even if I had ten million bucks sitting in my bank account, I’d probably find a way to blow through it all 🤷
My girlfriends and I? We’re pretty much obsessed with spending, I guess. And let’s be real—even when you actually have the cash, you always find some excuse to burn it on something trivial 🙂
Anyway, no matter how much money I managed to grab and take out with me, I usually ended up heading home with an empty wallet 🙂

Grab some snacks at the corner store and then hit the bakery $17 or whatever.
I seriously spend less when I'm just running errands than when I'm out grabbing coffee. 😳

A pack or two of smokes, a bottle of booze, and maybe some $23 for... 😍
But I rarely ever break into the double digits; I usually hover around 50-$33 😁
