Even just a run-of-the-mill dinner and a movie can set you back $100 these days! And no matter how fond you are of your special someone, that price tag is hard to stomach week after week. But don’t worry—there are plenty of ways to spend one-on-one time together in a budget-friendly way. Here are 45 cheap date ideas to try out, and some are even totally free ! 11 Cheap Date Ideas to Get Started. Let’s get one thing straight: Cheap doesn’t equal boring. If anything, it means you get to be a little more creative with how you plan the date. Plus, you get to think up exciting, out-of-the-box ideas and put in that extra effort. Here are 10 cheap date ideas to try out any day of the week. Browse at a bookstore. If you find books you both like, put them on hold for pickup at your local library. Listen to your throwback records, vintage tapes or mix CDs. Pick the ones that were important to you while you two were dating. Or if you’re still dating, share music that was important to each of you earlier in life. Go out to breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day, and it’s a much cheaper date than going out to dinner. There’s no rule out there saying you can’t have a date in the morning. So go ahead! Plus, who can pass up the chance to eat pancakes, eggs and bacon? Simple answer: no one—no one worth dating anyway . . . Watch the sunset or sunrise. C’mon—it doesn’t get more romantic than that! Celebrate the year you met, got married or started dating. Watch a popular movie or listen to music from that year and try to recreate the style of the time. If the year was 1983, we’re sorry for the fashion options. But take heart—you’ll have some of the most iconic movies and music to choose from! Take a dance lesson. There are tons of dance studios that offer a casual dance instruction with a time afterward to practice your moves. This is a great way to perfect your salsa, ballroom or disco dance moves together. Hit up a sports game. All right, going to watch the pros play isn’t going to be cheap (unless you can score a great discount). But don’t worry. You can still be a fan in the stands! Take in a local college or high school sports game, and chat with your date about your glory days as a volleyball champ . . . at your super small school. (You can leave that part out if you want to.) Volunteer together. Use your time to serve at a homeless shelter or elderly ministry. It’s amazing how helping others can bring the two of you together. Run errands together. How is that romantic, you ask? You leave your kids at home with a sitter. Boom! You’ll be surprised how much fun you have strolling the aisles of Target or picking up groceries—just the two of you. Test drive an expensive car. But don’t buy it! (Duh.) Go to an open mic night. You never know what kind of talent you’ll get to hear! 12 Cheap Date Ideas for the Outdoors. Whether it’s hot outside or there’s a crisp chill in the air, you can still take advantage of some cheap date ideas. Get out there and enjoy the great outdoors! It’s healthy, it’s refreshing, and best of all, it’s cheap. Enjoy a hike. Hiking in the fresh air under a sunny sky? You just can’t beat it! Be sure to remember how far you’ve walked so you aren’t making your date hike 20 miles (unless that’s on purpose). We speak from experience. Go for a run together. Maybe not a great first date idea (you know, the sweat and all), but if you’re both looking to get fit or are already runners, this can be a great way to bond. Camp at a state park. Need a little getaway from the kids? Take advantage of camping out for a night or two. Drive to see the autumn leaves. There isn’t much out there that can compare to the colors of trees in the fall. But some trees in the country just show off more than others do at that time of year. Find out where the leaves are changing color and take a scenic drive. Go berry or apple picking. Berry picking in the summer or apple picking in the fall is a blast. You can enjoy some quality time with each other and time away from electronic devices (amen!)— and you’ll leave with some delicious fresh fruit. Win-win! Visit a public garden. We know your date’s pretty and all, but so is a garden. So take her there. Grab a cup of coffee and stroll around a town square or downtown area. Nothing beats coffee and conversation! Throw in a stroll around some nice scenery, and you’ve got a match made in heaven. Concert in the park. Sometimes they’re free, and sometimes you have to pay a small ticket price. Either way, it’s worth it to take in some nice tunes under the stars. Walk a nature trail. Soak in the company of your significant other while soaking in the beauty of nature! Feed ducks at a pond. It's the little things in life, isn't it? Skip the bread here (it's not super great for the ducks) and treat them to some leftover corn, lettuce or oats. Visit a garden center. Just being around greenery and flowers can lift anyone’s mood. And coming home with a new planter to take care of together? Even better. Hang with farm animals. Are you obsessed with llamas? Maybe fainting goats are more your style? Whatever your spirit animal is, you can probably find it at a local farm. 12 Cheap Date Ideas for Staying In. There are plenty of fun dates you can have without ever stepping out your front door. And sometimes after a long week, who even wants to leave the house anyway? Cook a special or fancy dinner together. Cooking dinner with your special someone is a great way to spend some quality time together. Try out a new recipe or find some ingredients you don’t normally buy. Eat takeout by candlelight. Eating this way is a real treat. Don’t believe us? Give it a try. You’ll see the light. Have a picnic on the floor. You don’t need good weather to have a picnic. Have one on the floor of your living room! Make drinks and sip them on your patio. Whatever your beverage of choice, serving it up at home is going to be a lot cheaper than buying it out and about. Stargaze from your backyard. If you don’t live in the heart of a city, you might be able to see a good number of stars in the sky. Grab a blanket, look up, and be amazed. You can’t beat that ambience! Play board games. You can branch out with some strategy games like Settlers of Catan and Ticket to Ride or just play timeless classics like Monopoly and Clue. Loser does the dishes! Get dessert to go from your favorite restaurant. You can save around $30–40 just by eating at home for dinner and then picking up dessert to go ( and you don’t have to pay a tip). Use Redbox coupons for a movie night at home. We know, everyone wants to see the latest and greatest blockbuster movies the first week they’re out. But that’s overrated. Save $30–40 by not going to the movies and not hitting up the concession counter. Instead, rent a DVD at Redbox and pick up snacks at the dollar store. Take a trip down memory lane. Get out old photos or family home movies, and spend some time reminiscing. Plan a vacation you’re not taking (yet). Okay, we’ll admit it. This one might be a little cruel, but sitting around your laptop planning a vacation that you have no intention of going on is actually a lot of fun. And who knows. If you keep saving money like this, you could be taking that dream vacation sooner than you think. Make milkshakes, floats or fancy ice cream sundaes at home. Instead of going out and dropping 10 or 15 bucks at your favorite ice cream joint, just make your own at home. You can even grab a variety of toppings or mix-ins and still come out cheaper than you would at the ice cream shop. Binge-watch a new show. All right, maybe this just sounds like a regular old Tuesday night at your house.
