Tonight is my first night out in Tampa Bay after a long time.
Despite my love of the club scene, I can't shake the fact that going out at night, three nights a week, can get expensive. I am out ten bucks just getting in at the bar I am going to tonight and that is not counting parking and ordering a couple drinks.
I am sure I will be out fifty bucks by the end of the night, not good if you are a hourly wage worker like myself.
Any tips on how to lower the costs? I heard that there are some good promotion groups I can sign up for that can give me discounts on different spots.
Any night game veterans in the building that can break down how to go out on a budget?
When I turned the legal age in Canada I was also broke as fuck. Bummy ass nineteen year old who got by on selling weed. I was going out almost EVERY night. Keep in mind I had the advantage of living near my down town scene. HOWEVER, this is my budget if you're intending to drink. You could just always skip drinking. Here's my list of shit I did to afford going out.
1. Picked spots with cheap or no cover, this is vital, ten dollars in cover? That's three drinks. (IF you're going out to get hammered)
2. Got used to shitty beer. My goto beer that got me feeling good was Old Milwaukee Ice (Tall Cans), in Canada I think that was like 10.75. That was more than enough for me to stop drinking for the whole night if I finished all six before going out.
3. Know your limit of drinking and calibrate it to your game. Some gentlemen go out so tanked that their game becomes weak and you just end up becoming a bar douche who goes out for no other reason but to get hammered. Knowing your limit in conjunction to your game does two things: Saves you money and increases chances to pull a chick on any given night.
4. Set a budget before hand. I always would leave all my cash and debit at home except the money I allotted. That was usually 25 - 10 dollars.
5. Baby your beer. Now a days if I'm not even really going out to get hammered I still buy a beer just so I feel more at ease in the environment. Instead of constantly re-purchasing, I'll buy one and baby it through the night.
6. Show up to wherever you're going later than usual. This prevents you from lingering and continuously buying beer after beer, and usually this is the time in the night where one night stands are more fashionable. Women are usually in a state of "I'm tired and going home" or "I'm horny, who wants to seduce me?"
If you adhere to this, you can usually get away with spending twenty dollars a night. Ten on your six of beer, and ten when you're out. Keep in mind I DO have the advantage of living near down town, but even then, granted you're not TOO crazy far, I'd walk, or allot ten so you can cab home with the female you scooped up.
