5 Date ideas on a budget
by Brenda Johns
Your love may not cost a thing, but dates sure do. While we would all want to splash out big on a date every time, that’s just not possible for most of us. Besides, the most romantic and fun dates don’t necessarily cost a fortune. Here are five date ideas for couples on a budget.
Netflix and Chill
A movie date is a simple but fun way to enjoy each other’s company. To make it a little bit extra special, you can cook a fancy meal together and dine in, which will offer you a chance to spend quality time together before you watch your movie.
Have a picnic
A picnic is a cheap date idea that doesn’t necessarily look cheap. It makes for a cute and romantic first date idea, and the best part, you can have it practically anywhere. You can hit the local park, beach or choose to stay in and have a romantic picnic date on your living room floor.
Find a magnificent view
Magnificent views are as romantic as dates get. You can identify an area with a stunning skyline, hit an observation tower, or simply go to a roof deck.
Grab a coffee
Sounds cliché, I know. But a coffee date is one of those things that will never go out of style. This is especially a great option if you have a lot of catching up to do.
Play tourist in your city
Most of us underestimate just how much our cities have to offer. You don’t have to fly off to Cancun to discover adventure. Every city has hidden gems, and you can make it your mission to discover them together.
The truth is, planning a cheap date isn’t that hard. All you need to do is find something you both love doing that won’t cost you too much, and that’s it. Of course, we would all appreciate the occasional fancy dinner. But in the event you are strapped for cash, there’s really no reason that you shouldn’t enjoy a fun and romantic date with your partner.
