Fun Date Night Ideas That Won’t Break The Bank

Date nights are romantic, fun and essential for every couple. However, they can be quite expensive. Check out our entertaining cheap date night ideas!

As fun as it is to go out with your SO to a movie or a concert followed by a fancy dinner, unfortunately, a lot of us can’t afford to go on dates like this these days. It can be really expensive! Don’t fret though, you and bae can still have fun date nights that are budget-friendly.

Netflix and chill

This is one of the most inexpensive date nights out there, as you probably already have a Netflix subscription or other streaming service to watch films. Get ready for a movie marathon and a night of cuddling up to bae. Brownie points if you arrange an assortment of snacks.

Organise a picnic

Grab your partner, a blanket, some cheese and wine and go enjoy the local scenery. Picnics are super inexpensive and can be quite romantic. Make sure the weather forecast is clear for the night and you’re good to go.

Go out for coffee

Why not reconnect with your partner over a cup of joe? What’s even better is a cup of coffee isn’t going to break the bank. If your SO is a coffee lover, they will definitely appreciate this date night idea. If not, try and win them over with a cup of hot chocolate and if you’re really feeling like splurging, enjoy a muffin or another tasty treat on the side. Hey big spender!

Go roller skating

Dust off your old roller skates or go to your local roller skating rink for cheap and make an evening of it. If you have your own skates, cruise along the beach (on the path of course) and take in the sunset or go to the skate park and impress bae with your moves. Roller skating is such a fun activity to do with your partner, and super cheap! It’s also a great workout, who knew you could get fit whilst having fun?

Go for a walk along the beach

If it’s nice weather out, grab bae and hit the beach for a romantic stroll your next date night. This date is not only free, but also very peaceful and relaxing. Watching the waves, listening to them crash against one another, feeling the sand beneath your toes. I could go on and on.

Go bowling

I know, the shoes are disgusting, but bowling is a great cheap date night idea as you can usually find good deals at your local bowling alley. Plus, it’s fun and what couple doesn’t like a little friendly competition.

Asking Your Partner For A Sexual Health Test Doesn’t Have To Be Weird

Cook a romantic dinner at home

You don’t have to be master chefs to make a romantic dinner at home, and this option is a great date night idea that’s budget-friendly. Put on some music, crack open a bottle of wine, spend some quality time together cooking and then you get to eat your delicious creation. Yum!

Have a games night

Break out the good ol’ fashioned games like Uno, Scrabble, Taboo and Monopoly and go nuts! However, board games are usually better with more players so make it a double date and invite some friends over. Let the games begin!

Go stargazing

Lay back, relax and enjoy a night of watching the stars with bae. This is such an inexpensive date, and a great way to disconnect from the world and spend some quality time with your SO. You don’t need to know about stars and constellations to enjoy the beauty of stargazing. Pro tip: If it’s going to be a chilly night, rug up and pack a blanket and some hot chocolate to go.
