Most of us have those times where we wanna go on a date but barely have any money. But a date doesn't have to be elaborate. It's being with the person you love and just doing the things y'all like. These are some affordable dates for you can do at home or in the outdoors.

11. Geocachce

"The recreational activity of hunting for and finding a hidden object by means of GPS coordinates posted on a website." Really the only cost is using gas, but you could even possibly walk to some.

10. A Picnic

Pack whatever you like to eat and a blanket, and go enjoy the nice weather. One time I also brought some stuff to color and that was one of my favorite memories.

9. Movie Night

Grab a red box movie and dollar tree candy (seriously, who doesn't like being able to get a box of candy for ONLY $1!) You don't have to go in a theater with a bunch of people, and sticky floors, and have to pay $8 just for the ticket.

8. Bake

It does get messy, but who cares since you'll have delicious food at the end. My favorites are Oreo truffles and strawberry cupcakes.

7. Star Gazing

Especially great with a truck, just lay in the truck bed with a pile of blankets.

6. Crafts

I've painted canvas' with my bf, so you could do that. There is also bracelet making, or whatever you feel like because crafting means being creative.

5. Find Rocks

There's this new thing in my town where people paint rocks and hide them so people can find them and relocate them. So give that a try, maybe even paint some and hide them yourself.

4. Game Night

I love a little competition, and this could be like a double date idea. It's just fun to watch how everyone gets while trying to win.

3. Go To The Park

Swinging is my favorite thing to do at the park and getting so high in the breeze is just awesome. Maybe see who can get the highest!

2. Hike

It's a great way to get exercise too but in a fun way!

1. Eat $1 Item Foods

Go though whatever fast food restaurant you like and maybe try something new.

Doing something fun doesn't have to be expensive. Plus you don't have to do the basic views of dating, it's what you and your significant other like!
