I thought I would switch it up this week and talk about something fun and relevant to many people — fun, cheap, date night ideas for those who are on a budget.
For me, date nights are a large part of my budget. I value going on fun dates, nice restaurants, good drinks, etc. but I also do love a fun cheap date night so here are some of the best ideas for you all!
- Have a game night at home
- Go somewhere you haven’t explored in your city and go on a few mile walk
- Make some fun appetizers (charcuterie board, chips and guac, etc.) and bring some drinks and have a picnic in a park nearby
- Hit up a local farmers market and try a bunch of new food
- Cook at home together something you have never tried that takes a while (sushi, homemade pizza, baked goods, whatever sounds good to you)
- Go on a hike
- Try a new coffee shop
- Go test drive your dream car together
- Go to an outdoor local concert
- Play a questions game night. Each of you come with multiple deep questions to get to know your spouse better
- Go mini putting
- Go to a drive in movie
- Find the best happy hour deals around you and take advantage of them
- Go on a bike ride
- Go thrifting or to garage sales
- Go volunteer somewhere you guys are both passionate about
- Make a scavenger hunt for you significant other
- Binge a new tv show or movie series
- Make your significant other’s favorite meal while they get to go relax, treat them
- Go watch the sunrise or sunset over water somewhere close
- Create a vacation bucket list together
- Go to random open houses in your town
- Go to a workout class together
- Go to a local trivia night
- Go food truck hopping, get one thing from multiple places
- Rent kayaks or tube down a river
- Go on a drive with no end goal in mind, see if you end up somewhere cool and explore
- Sit by a fire
- Turn off all devices and have a date night in just chatting and connecting
- Have an iron chef cooking competition at home
