Plan dates that are worth getting excited about. For tons of ideas for inexpensive date night ideas, check out these 25 blog articles.

No Food Involved

There’s no rule that says that a night out has to include food, and meals are often the most expensive part of a date.  Agree to eat before the date and then choose fun things that aren’t related to eating. Get together with friends and play charades, or window shop in a nearby town.  Go “old school” and fly a kite or go roller skating.  These dates are perfect events to promote laughter and make some memories.  The most important thing is being together.
