Dating can be an expensive ordeal. Traditionally, a date night would consist of dinner and some other form of entertainment, usually taking hours of one's time and enough money to keep the more frugal among us from even wanting to go out. This can especially be a challenge for married couples looking to save their money. Finding affordable ways to go out doesn't mean having any less, fun, however. It simply means that you'll have to get a little more creative than "dinner and a movie." The extra effort, however, will pay off in more than just a few saved dollars. You may find that some of the best dates you'll ever go on will cost around $20.00, or even less. Spending loads of cash doesn't mean that you or your date will have any more fun that evening. We've all been to fancy restaurants where we ordered $40.00 meals that we ended up hating, or going to mediocre concerts where the tickets were $50.00 a pop. When it comes to having a great time, it's the experience that matters, not the amount of money spent. Therefore, the following date ideas, though not pricey, may afford you and your date time together that is more special than the cash you'd have otherwise missed.

Takeaways
  • For a romantic dinner at home, spend the bulk of your money on the entree.
  • Many cities offer monthly movie events in picturesque areas for free.
  • Whatever you decide to do, remember not to rely solely on free entertainment.
