Sometimes it can be hard to have a nice date when you and your significant other deserve an adventurous getaway, but can hardly afford Applebee’s two for $20.
1. Good old fashion coffee date
Dunkin Donuts may be cheaper, but Starbucks is a bit fancier. Bonus points if it is a Starbucks in a Barnes and Noble. Then, you can wander around looking at books and drinking a frap with your person.
2. Visit the local park
If the weather is nice, why not take your date outside? Burn some calories on a walk and take cute couple pics near trees, what more could you need?
3. Hike in the wilderness
If you live in an area with great hiking trails this is another great way to exercise with your special person.
4. Roam Around Target
This is one of my boyfriend’s favorites. Walk around Target with a Starbucks drink, looking at all the things you can’t afford, and catching up on life. It’s better than it sounds.
5. Fishing
Another great outdoor date. Once you buy the fishing license, it pays for itself. Drive up to the nearest lake (or ocean) and fish for the afternoon. If you have kayaks or a canoe you can actually go out into the water and explore.
6. Mini golf
It’s a cliché for a reason.
7. Ice cream outing
Who doesn’t love sharing a large ice cream sundae? Just kidding, get your own.
8. Rent a movie
Who needs Netflix when you can go old school with Redbox and chill.
9. Cook a meal together
Nothing is more romantic than cooking dinner with your significant other. Bonus points if you can spring for a bottle of wine (to cook with, obviously).
10. Visit the Lego Store
Guess the price for each display and watch the employees get mad at you.
As long as you are spending time with that special someone, does it really matter what you are doing?
