Prom Blackmail

When we went to get Charlie's tux for this year's prom, Men's Wearhouse was having BOGO sale.  After looking at the price of the tuxes, I started doing some mental arithmetic.  Charlie has 3 more proms to get through (including this one).  Renting a tux every year would come up to more than just buying one, and if we bought one, he would still have a tux left at the end of 3 years that he could sell if he wasn't ever going to use it again...AND he would have a nice business suit, too!  Didn't take much to sell me, huh?

So we bought a tux and a suit.  Next year, all he will have to buy is a different colored tie and pocket square, and he'll be set. 

Tux: $450
Shoes: $70
Prom ticket: $45
Flowers: $30
Picture of him wearing a tuxedo with a mohawk for future blackmail purposes: PRICELESS!!!!
