Online Coupons: Five Frugal Date Night Ideas
After a well-deserved and very brief hiatus, Kyle of Rather-Be-Shopping.com returns, this time with some frugal date ideas as well as more coupons. Kyle has saved my bacon (as well as helped our readers save some dollars!) over and over again with his contributions to this blog and I am eternally in his debt. Kyle’s return is so anticipated we will delay our usual Link Payday until Monday. Mahalo nui loa, Kyle!
My wife and I have been able to get away from the kids a few times the past couple months to have a date night where we can hang out, relax, talk, and catch up on our busy lives. None of them have cost a lot of money but they were all really fun. So I thought I would share them in case you are looking for some date ideas that won’t break the bank.
~ Neighborhood Walk and Picnic - Just get out and take a walk together. Bring a picnic with you and have a destination in mind, like a park where you can ‘break bread’ together. Cheap, quiet, and often quite romantic.
~ Bring The Movie Theater Home - One of the favorite things my wife has done is stop by the movie theater, get a large popcorn, rent a DVD, and we had a movie date night at home. Avoid the expensive movie tickets, plus you will also avoid the sticky floor in the theater and the dirty bathrooms!
~ Free Music Concerts - We have a free music festival in our town called “The Mosquito Serenade”, that has some local bands and singers and always provides great music. Always a fun night out and totally affordable. Check your local paper for similar music festivals in your area.
~ Historic Sites - We have a historic mining town near our home and it was a really fun date to tour the old town with my wife. We got to hang out together and got a better grasp of our local history. Almost every town has something like this which would make for a fun tour.
~ Local College or Junior College - Our local junior college has a fantastic drama program and they have several inexpensive plays throughout the school year. These plays and performances always make for a fun night out. I would recommend that you check the website of colleges in your area for specific details.
