Options on How to Create the Perfect Date on a Low cost Budget.
By: Aqua Blutopia
Date night doesn't have to mean
shelling out more cash than you're comfortable with. If you're currently in
saving mode and your credit cards need time to breathe after a serious bout of
spending, there are a few low-cost options to consider. But cutting back on
spending doesn't have to mean boring. We've put together some fun, frisky yet
frugal ideas for your next date night. Here are some options on how to create a
perfect date on a low cost budget.
1 Romantic dinner
Forgo a fancy (and
expensive) restaurant for a candlelit dinner at home. Choose a recipe you both
want to try, pick up some wine and cook up a storm. Cooking together can be
very sexy and often take you from behind the counter to under the covers, if
you know what we mean...
Delicious and simple dinner ideas:
Wine and cheese. Visit a local cheese shop and pick up a
variety of cheeses to try. When you buy the wine, ask for help choosing some
wines to pair with your purchases, or ask the cheese monger for suggestions.
Round out your romantic dinner with fresh fruit, olives, fresh bread and a
variety of spreads and chutneys.
Picnic. If it's nice out, you can do this outdoors,
but if you both live in apartment buildings or the weather isn't ideal for
outdoor eating, enjoy your tasty spread inside on a quilt laid out on the
ground. Think simple yet flavorful fare that's easy to eat such as tea
sandwiches, pasta salad with seasonal veggies, roasted potatoes with creamy aioli
for dipping and brownies for dessert.
Make something totally
new. Have you always
wanted to try your hand at Korean BBQ or tackle something Mexican? Now's your chance to really do something different
while having fun in the kitchen together.
2 Sexy spa night
Giving each other massages is a great way to spend a romantic night in together.
Set the mood with scented candles, soft music and low lighting and take turns
working out the kinks and making each other feel great.

If you're going to
try this option for a low-cost, romantic date night, it's worth putting in
the effort to really create a relaxing atmosphere. This means cleaning the
house, getting rid of clutter (spas are known for their minimalist decor,
after all) and brightening up the space with fresh cut flowers and other
nature-inspired accents. |
3 Fresh air fun
Depending on the
weather where you are, heading outdoors for a hike, nature walk or even to do
something sporty is a fun and cheap date idea. You'll get fresh air, exercise
and get to spend time having fun together without spending much (or any) money.
Some fun and active ideas include:
- Playing tennis
- Heading to the park to toss around a frisbee or
baseball
- Exploring a neighborhood you've never spent time in
- Checking out local attractions in your town or city
that you usually bypass
- Making it a double or even triple date by planning a
game of touch football or capture the flag with other couples
