Dating is an incredible exciting time for any couple and it is a time when you want to do all that you can to spend moments together. Invariably this means that you are likely to be going out a lot, seeing new things, having new experiences and getting to know each other better. There is however, one down side to dating for many people, the budget.

If you are living on a budget then dating can be tricky, with this in mind, we have put together a list of just some of the ways which you can spend your date night without spending too much money. Remember that it is about who you are spending the time with, not how much you are spending on the time.

Picnic

Romantic? Check, fun? Check, cheap? Check, check, check, that’s right, a picnic is a great way to spend your night with your new partner and it can often be better than spending a huge amount of money on a restaurant bill. For your supplies, head to the grocery store and pick up ingredients for things which you can make at home. For the location, pick somewhere quiet that will have a great view of the sunset and the stars, nothing says I want you quite like a night under starlight.

Netflix and Chill

In spite of the connotations that are often given to Netflix and Chill, this is actually a great way to spend your date night. Who doesn’t love binge watching a TV series? Doing so with your date gives you the chance to snuggle up for long periods of time and chat about how you think the series is going to play out and who knows, those connotations may well turn out to be true.

Board Games

Many turn their noses up at the idea of playing board games but they truly can be a great deal of fun. For a great date night, why not pick up some wine, get the board games out and have a fun, competitive and boozy night with your date as you try to outsmart each other with a board game!

Coupons

The world of couponing is crazy right now and websites like Groupon always have huge discounts on restaurants and days out. You can take advantage of this by snagging yourself a bargain for your next date night. There is a huge range of activities and coupons which you can pick up on sites like this and you should be checking daily to see if there are any promotions which you could take advantage of. Your date will never need to know that you went for the cheaper option and you can give them a truly special date night, for a fraction of the price.

These are just some ideas for how you can do date night on a budget, you should also keep your eye out for free events in your local area and ensure that you are always on the watch out for promotions.
