If you're too poor and cheap to afford the quintessential high-class date (dinner, drinks and tickets to the theater) then try this:
1) Head to Hopkins, stop at McDonald's on the way. Pick up a few McDoubles and some apple pies off the dollar menu. Tell the cashier you want two empty large cups. If the Monopoly game is currently running, then you're probably screwed. If so, head to Taco Bell.
2) Stop at a liquor store and get a cheap bottle of wine ($6). Tell the cashier you just moved and can't find your opener, so you'll need the bottle opened. Fill the empty cups with wine.
3) Buy $2 movie tickets at the $2 Hopkins Theater. If you're ready for a double-header, it's best to check the movie listings to make sure there isn't too much lag time in between movies. You don't want your date passing out on you.
4) = Dinner, drinks and a couple of movies for $7 a piece.
