Dates can get really expensive! But there’s no need to worry. There are plenty of awesome ways to spend time together in a budget-friendly way.
Cheap definitely doesn’t have to mean boring. Here are some exciting day date ideas to try out:
1. Go on a picnic
There’s nothing more romantic than enjoying some al fresco food while enjoying some time outdoors. Make sure you pick a nice day, grab a blanket, and pack some food and drinks.
Even if it’s raining, you can still do this as a date – simply move your picnic inside your home!
2. Take a dance lesson
Dance lessons can be really fun – and they’re also super-affordable. Whether it’s salsa, disco, ballroom, or another style, this is a great way for couples to spend time together!
3. Go out to breakfast
If you can afford to go out for an evening meal, one alternative is to go for a breakfast date. And, just because it’s cheaper, doesn’t mean it’ll be less romantic.
Having a date in the morning makes a nice change – and breakfast food can be just as tasty!
4. Go for a walk or run
Do you enjoy getting out in the fresh air? If you do, why not make it into a date? Going for a hike or running outside in the fresh air and sunshine is an amazing way to bond.
You can also choose different walks to add variety, like the woods, in the hills, on the beach, or by the coast, or following a nature trail.
5. Go berry or apple-picking
There are loads of places to go picking fresh fruits. Depending on the season, berries and apples are popular choices, but you can pick other fruits for your date.
This makes a lovely outing that’s perfect for a date!
6. Cook a meal together
If you love cooking, why not cook a special meal together as a couple? This is a great way to spend quality time together.
To make it interesting, you can also start looking for new, unique recipes or try out ingredients you don’t normally buy.
7. Build a campfire
What’s more romantic than sitting by a fire? If you’re lucky enough to have a backyard, starting a campfire and sitting around it can be an awesome date.
If this isn’t an option, another way to do this is to sit by a fireplace inside.
8. Take a day trip
You can go anywhere for a date. So, if you’re stuck for ideas, simply jump in your car or get on a train and go over to a new town or tourist hotspot.
This can feel like a big adventure, and it doesn’t need to be expensive or difficult to plan!
