Cheap Date Night Ideas
Date nights are a good idea to a great relationshop or marriage but doing one every week or even every other week can get expensive and kinda hard to figure out. My husband and I actually came up with this list of 100 easy, cheap and fun date night ideas which should keep you pretty busy! If you don’t like any of these, then what about trying to come up with your own list with your significant other….it kinda works as a date night. 😉

Do you have any ideas?! If so, please leave it in the comments below!
I love this list! Thank you! So many great ideas. Good job!
Aw thank you Noelle! =)
Tonight my boyfriend and I combined making pizzas and a movie. Funniest Friday night we’ve had in a long time
Yay! That’s awesome Lisa! =) Tonight we are watching Netflix….kinda addicting LOL.
I love netflix for old shows not on any more….don’t know what I was thinking in watching SeaQuest!
This couldn’t come at a more perfect time! I’m dropping to part time so my hubby and me need things to do that wont break our now diminished budget.
Thanks for posting this it’s really great, I am going to print of your list and have Hubby choose stuff 🙂
I printed the list, cut each one in strips and put in a jar… We have one similar for our family night but didn’t think of Date Night. My husband and I are will alternate picking, but I must admit I had no idea what “geocaching” was! Thank you for making my life easier and more enjoyable!!!
This is awesome. I added a bunch of these to my “date night jar” I’m giving my hubby for Valentines day. I had great big event things and go out things, but was having trouble coming up with some cheap stay in things so we can pull one every weekend! Thanks!
Thank you so much for posting this! My husband and I struggle for ideas when we’re broke or don’t have a sitter.
Go couponing at the market….see who can use the most coupons, (gotta find the items first). Love your ideas!
These are super awesome! I read them to my fiancé and we high fived for each one we did yesterday 🙂

Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
But imagine if you added some great photos or video clips to give
your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but
with images and clips, this site could certainly be one of the most beneficial in its niche.
Wonderful blog!
What a wonderful list. I really loved everything. Thank you for posting it.
