Molly Bee has simple tastes. She gets a charge out of playing county fairs, singing country music, meeting country people. She doesn't care about putting on the dog either. She's happier on a date that costs $5. Molly, who's part of the pony-tail set, shows you that a couple can get quite a lot of mileage out of a little money and some ingenuity.

1. Gasoline: 50 cents won't fill your tank, but it will pay for a couple of gallons to get you around on.

arcade cost 10 cents
2. Penny Arcade: It costs 10 cents to take 25 shots.

miniature golf cost 40 cents
3. Miniature golf costs 40 cents per person, or 80 cents.

movie 50 cents
6. Movie: The 50 cent movie, but had to look around for this good price.
