ie: Buy one get one free (restaurant, movie, mini golf, etc), or x% off

How many people in ATOT (besides Rossman) do you think would actually do it?

I've been with my wife for 13 years and I still won't use a coupon, never mind on a first date.

would if x is 80% and you go to a 100 dollar a plate resturant, hell yeah I would, it's not cheap, it's smart.

Once you become hitched, the gal will definitely turn on her coupon-clipping mode. So why not show her your coupon-clipping side early in the relationship? :D

I probably wasn't going to get laid anyway, might as well save a few bucks and keep from coming out so far behind.

No. I think thats really tacky and plus, you only get one chance to make a good first impression!

Why the hell would you go to anything OVER a $20/plate restaurant on a first date, unless you are filthy stinking rich and it doesn't matter to begin with? I find that most girls WANT to go to places where they can be themselves and order whatever they want without feeling like they are breaking some rule. Applebee's, Fridays, Ruby Tuesday... not "chez expensive"

i would probably let her pick the place and order whatever she wants

i usually have an entertainment book sitting in the car

if i have a coupon than i have a coupon and i'll use it

if not than i dont care and i'll pay full price

if the girl is going to have a fit over something like that than i probably wouldn't want to go out again anyway
