Date Night, Part Three

Author's Note:  This is the last of a three part series on date night suggestions.  Happy Valentine's Day!


Date Night #3:  "The Cheap Skate Date"

  • Prepare each other a gift that cost you nothing.  Give it to one another as you leave the house.  It will set the "thrifty" tone!
  • Go to at least 4 fast food locations.  Order ONLY one item per person at each restaurant.  (Example:  your drink at Taco Bell, your appetizer at Wendy's, your main dish at Arby's, and your dessert at McDonald's)
  • If you have a smart phone that has a good photo app, take a picture of yourselves at each place and create a photo collage of your "dinner."
  • Find a free community event and attend it.  Choose something that you never would have attended otherwise--it'll make it more memorable.
  • Take a blanket to a scenic spot and watch the sun go down together, with a carafe of coffee from home!
