When was the last time you and your honey had a night out alone?
You know that it is important to spend some kid free time, but you just don’t do it. Why? Is it your budget? The thing is, you can actually have some pretty great dates on a super slim budget.
Here are just a couple of ideas of things that you can do that won’t hurt your budget!
- Take a Romantic Walk. One of these nights after dinner, grab your honey’s hand and head out the door for a nice romantic walk in your neighborhood. The cool evening air and exercise are both good for you and it provides a great opportunity to chat.
- Go for a Drive. When was the last time you went for a drive just for the fun of it? My hubby and I like to go for moonlight drives just to spend time together. This is one of our favorite date night activities and costs nothing more than a gallon or two of gas.
- Groupon. Check out Groupon for any local deals! We have been able to buy dinner for the two of us for $10 and another time we spent $8 on bowling just by taking advantage of Groupon deals.
- Plan a picnic. A picnic can be as cheap or as expensive as you want it and it can be a very romantic date. Pack a meal, bring a blanket and sit in the grass with your special someone.
- Head out for a hike. Chances are you have quite a few hiking trails within an hour’s drive (or less) of you. Find one with a waterfall or a good viewpoint and adventure together.
- Go stargazing. You don’t even have to leave home for this date night idea! Bring a blanket into your back yard and lay out with your honey watching the stars. The beautiful night sky will provide a romantic atmosphere for your evening.
- Hit up a Matinee. Movies are generally expensive, but many theatres have matinee day and times where your movie will only cost $3-$5. Avoid the snacks and drinks and your date will still be just $10!
There are so many ideas of fun dates you can do with your special someone! It may seem like you have to spend a lot of money to date, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
