I know, I know… We’re all broke but we still want to be hella romantic. Well lucky for you, I’ve come up with quite a few date ideas that won’t break the bank! Be sure to let me know how your date goes + tag me in pics on insta & FB ?
Picnic in the park
$5 Tuesday movies at your local AMC theater
Play a sport together
Roller Skating
Thrifty bae-cation
This was a bae-cation for a very cheap price. Jesus’s friend had a condo in Gulf Shores + we all took a trip together to stay and have a good time for a whole WEEK. It was so much fun.
Netflix movie marathon complete w/ popcorn + all your favorite treats
At home spa day – facemasks + massages + nails
Stay-cation w/ bae
This was our first stay-cation. Jesus came to Oxford, MS during spring break so that we could spend time together for a whole week. He’s my fave <3
Go thrifting + pick out outfits for eachother
Make dinner together at home *warning, Jesus + I do this often and it’s never cheap, but y’all can probably do better than us ?
Have a potluck w/ your friends {food+alcohol included}
This night, Jesus + I went to a friend’s get together where everybody brought something. That’s food + drinks cheaper than you would ever get it if you went out.
Go an outdoor date – hiking + canoeing + camping
Find something cheap on Groupon – I’ve found some awesome deals to help heal the pockets trying out new things
Find a good happy hour + set up camp
This was at my FAVORITE happy hour which is Hell Wells ~ $1 well drinks at Black Market on Wednesday’s. Easily the best happy hour I’ve ever been to. I love it 🙂
Grab a blanket + find a good stop + gaze at the stars
Go on seasonal activities – since it’s June, we can go to free concerts + movies in the park & farmer’s markets to name a few or like playing in the snow during the winter ?
Here Jesus + I are hanging out in the snow with the dogs. We stayed out so long playing around, throwing snowballs + just laughing at each other in general. It was so fun!
Find a DIY to do together
Clean the house together – free + helpful for the household
Go to a free or cheaply priced museum
Pick a part of town to walk around + explore
Jesus and I used our time {+money} wisely by exploring our own backyard.
Go to the animal shelter + pet all of the fur babies
Have a game night {friends optional}
Find a bowling alley w/ bowl + beer specials
Get a whole bunch of ingredients to make ice cream sundaes at home – best part is you’ll have leftovers for more fun ?
