Prom

After reading the article on the expenses of Prom, I say that it's to expensive. There is no reason to spend more than  70 dollars for dinner. For 30 dollars and an earlier trip to Costco, I can make a soup better than the Olive Garden's spicy sausage potato soup. And limousine's are overrated. 80 dollars an hour for the cheapest one and a 5 hour minimum for prom? No one on this planet could convince me to spend 400 dollars for a drive to and from a dance especially if I'm not going to be in the car most of the evening. The tuxedo and dress prices are understandable since formal clothing has always been more expensive than everyday informal clothing, but I would rather buy a tuxedo than rent one in case I ever need to use it again.
