Romance on a Budget
If you are looking for budget friendly and unique romantic date ideas, guaranteed to leave you and your partner in a frenzy, then you’ve come to just the right place. Sometimes, going on dates could mean spending way over budget and that’s not something we want to do - ever. Here are just a few budget friendly ideas to consider when planning your next date.
1. Cook Together
Cooking together has got to be one of the most intimate and romantic ways to bond with each on a date. Not only is it highly economical, it gives you both room to be more relaxed and vulnerable with each other. Consider it some quality time and a chance to explore hidden talents you both never knew existed in the kitchen. The next time you are looking for a budget friendly date idea, head out to your local grocery store and pick up a few ingredients to cook with your date. Don’t forget the wine!
2. Visit a Farmer’s Market
Farmer’s markets could be tons of fun and a great way to start off the day depending on who’s tagging along. You and your date can stop by at a local weekend farmer’s market and spend some time picking out affordable, delicious and fresh produce together, while also enjoying each other’s company and at the same time, supporting small local businesses together. Don’t forget to grab some lunch from one of the many vendors on your way out.
3. Go Hiking
What better way to enjoy a day date than with nature? Going on a hike together is definitely up there when it comes to saving cost. It’s absolutely refreshing , it’s scenic and best of all, its completely free. Find a nice trail to hike together, and enjoy the views from the top with your sweetheart. Don’t miss out on all the amazing photo ops while you are at it. You both can also stop by for some Ice cream after, to cool off after a hike day we’ll spent.
4. Go on a Picnic
What’s not to love about a picnic date? Grab some of your favorite snacks, and find a cool spot to lounge with your plus one for the day! Picnic dates can be very laid back and cosy, giving you both an added privacy from the usual busy restaurant setting, as well as enough time to get to know each other on a much deeper level. Don’t forget to pack some fun games and polaroid film!
5. Explore a new neighborhood
Put on your most comfortable shoes and head out for a day of adventure with your date. Try to get lost in a new neighborhood, discover hidden gems together, and capture some amazing shots on the way. While at it, be sure to check out a new restaurant for some late lunch or a local free neighborhood art gallery to explore.
6. Work Out Together
There’s nothing more intimate than working out together. You both get to see each other in your elements, sweating it out and putting in the work. It unveils another layer in the relationship and also allows you get comfortable with each other. Whether it’s going for a morning run or signing up for a boxing class, working out together is perfectly suited for a simple budget friendly and romantic date. You can cool of with a refreshing smoothie after and even make plans to squeeze in a later date.
