Well, in our case, it's cheaper to go to the club (New Horizons) than to go out for dinner and a drink. Since the club is BYOB, we end up spending between a maximum of $120. Compare that to a nice dinner and two or three drinks: $160-$200, and no playroom.
Now, Mrs. W's sister is staying with us for some weeks, so we're hitting the club as much as we can in the next weeks now that we have someone to babysit for free
