Cheap Ways to Spend Date Night
- Farmers Market. Yeah, buying lots of stuff at a Farmer’s Market can add up quickly, but you can simply walk through a farmer’s market and check out the beautiful crafts and artwork by local artists with your special someone. It can give you ideas of things that you may want to buy later when you are not on a budget.
- Movie Night In. Many of us think of dinner and a movie for a date night, but the truth is that you don’t need to head to the theater and a restaurant. You can simply make dinner at home and watch a movie together. Wait until the kids go to bed so you have more time with just the two of you.
- Go for a walk. Fresh air and exercise is a great way to spend time together! There is just something refreshing about going for a walk and there is something very romantic about walking hand in hand with your loved one.
- Picnic. If you like to base your dates around meal time, why not have a picnic together at a park or a beach or some other lovely outdoor space. If nothing else, make a picnic meal and lay a blanket out in your backyard, watch the sunset and spend some time watching the stars together.

Budget Friendly Spring Date Ideas
Spring is here, Spring is here, Spring is here!!!! Okay, so it’s not quite here yet, but it’s so close and I have seen the sunshine a couple of times! I am so ready to enjoy it! That has me thinking that I am ready to start having some fun, springtime dates with my man!!
We like to keep our dates on a budget though, so I have come up with some ideas for budget friendly Spring date ideas:
Go for an evening stroll. Make this date happen often! It is refreshing to get some fresh air with the one you love, plus if you are anything like me, you have put on a couple of pounds over the Winter and taking a nice stroll around the neighborhood in the evenings is a huge help to start to burn those extra calories and spend time with your honey.
Candlelit dinner. Any dinner is better with candlelight. For real, you can make a boxed Mac & Cheese meal feel romantic by candlelight. Bring out the good dishes, turn down the lights in the house and enjoy your meal with a romantic glow.
Go hiking. Take an easy hike at a local trail or park’s walking trails. The easy walk feels great, plus Springtime is a great time to spot wildflowers! That makes walks even better. If you are in a place to pick those flowers, bring some home with you to put in a vase in your house to spruce things.
Check out Groupon. Login into your Groupon account or app and check out their “things to do” tab. They often have really great deals on museum tours, restaurants, adventurous outings and more! Also, make sure to double check for promo codes so that you can save even more!
Movie Night. Check out your closest Redbox and look for a romantic flick to watch with your special someone. A good old fashioned movie night makes a great reason to cuddle and be close. You can even order in a pizza (look for more promo codes), it doesn’t get much cheaper!
