Because fancy dinners and costly ticket prices add up, especially when you're trying to get to know somebody new or when you’ve been together for a while, so here are a few cost effective date ideas;

1. Watch a movie and eat popcorn
2. Have a favorite TV show marathon
3. Cook or bake together (try something new!)
4. Play board games or video games
5. Do some wine or beer tasting (have some good cheese and crackers to try pairing with them)
6. Buy some massage oil and give each other massages
7. Dress up and eat dinner by candle light
8. Make a bonfire outside or light the fireplace (enjoy some champagne or s’mores!)
9. Simply talk and “catch up”
10. Read a book together (take turns reading out loud)
11. Dance to some old-timey music
12. Take a relaxing bath together with wine and soft music
13. Have a theme night (try an “indoor camping” theme, “act like we’re still 20” theme, or whatever sounds fun to you!)
14. Reminisce and look at old pictures
15. Write a bucket list and dream about your future together
16. Try a new yard game
17. Exercise together
18. Sing karaoke using YouTube lyric videos
19. Learn a new card game
20. Watch funny YouTube videos and laugh!
