How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Warm And Cozy Date Nights Thanks To Flipp ~ $100 Gift Card Giveaway

in Lifestyle on

It’s finally here.  Sweater weather!  If you’re prepared for the change of seasons, cool autumn days and crisp cool nights can be a reason to celebrate.  I mean, what could be better than curling up by the fire with someone you love, a warm cozy blanket, maybe a great coffee or glass of wine, a big bowl of buttered popcorn and of course a great movie.  It sounds like the making of an epic date night!
Are you not quite ready to bond with Fall?  Not to worry, the amazing Flipp app has you covered; it’s the best and easiest way to browse your local flyers.  Here’s how I prepped for an epic date night with a little help from my favourite Flipp app, and saved a few pennies along the way.  Maybe it will inspire you to prepare for your own fabulous fall evening at home!
As the Mama of two teens, “date night’ often happens at home.  After I get my kiddos all settled in from where ever they need to be, and I’m done with my long day of work the last thing I feel like doing is heading back out again.  So what could be better than a special evening at home?  With this top of mind, I set out to create a wish list, complete with budget, pulled out that Flipp app,  and got to work.  What would I need to take my regular date nights to a whole new level?

Coffee or wine.  Um, can I say both?  We like to start with coffee and end the evening with a great glass of wine.  Linen Chest has $100 off the Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine.  This little baby is firmly on my wish list.
If you are in need of new wine glasses, Flipp always has some great ideas!  We have quite a few regular “fancy” wine glasses but I think a few stemless ones would be great to add to our growing collection.

Here’s a great stemless set for only $19.97.
Firelogs are a must and are handy to have on hand for any cool fall evening, but they make date night extra special.
Popcorn is on sale!  I’m embarrassed to tell you how much popcorn I consume.  I’ll be stocking up.
 Hmm, perhaps I should be considering this deal.
 Candles.  Yes please, you really can’t overdo it with romantic light.
Cozy blankets.  These gorgeous throws from JYSK look just perfect for curling up under.  Perhaps one of each!
 Thanks to Flipp I was able to quickly sort through all my local flyers and create my shopping list.  As I was short on time and eager for a date night TONIGHT I was also able to send my list to my Hubby and ask him to pick up those wine glasses and popcorn on his way home from work.  Winning!  The Flipp app really is amazing.
 With the Flipp app I can save time and money by finding the weekly or monthly deals for all of the items on my fall wish list.  The best part, the Flipp app is free and available for iOS and Android.   To download Flipp visit the App Store  or find it on Google Play   Are you ready to @getFlipp?  Of cour, e you are!  Why wouldn’t you want to save on all that shopping that has to get done, now!

    9. The first thing I searched was for food! If we’re having date night at home, appies, snacks and drinks are must-haves!

    13. First think I searched was nice cozy pajamas as date night for me is some time quite time to myself after my kids are in bed.
