Who knew skyrocketing prices and budget-conscious living would light such a romantic spark? Apparently, nothing says foreplay like coupons, McNuggets, and two-step dancing at Toby’s honky tonk.
I watched a brief news clip where the narrator said Americans were becoming more frugal due to the increase of prices caused by the tariffs.. A late night talk show host later said that a survey indicated that a growing percentage of Americans believe that frugality is sexy. Imagine a brief conversation between a couple might go like this:
Joan: “It’s Friday, Harry. Let’s go out for dinner and perhaps a few drinks after. I feel like dressing up.”
Harry, feeling a bit excited about the evening’s potential said, “Any thoughts on where you’d like to go?”
Joan: “With all the price increases caused by the tariffs, let’s dine at McDonald’s and then head to Toby’s honky tonk for a couple of beers. What do you think?”
Harry: “When you start talking frugal, it makes me horny.”
Joan gave Harry a flirtatious wink and said: “Tomorrow, let’s go to the thrift store.”
