Cheap(Skate) Dates

Dates are important. They add adventure. They add spontaneity. They add fun. They allow married couples to form memories together. But what happens when funds run few, or ideas run low? Enter this twelve month plan for cheap(skate) dates. At $10 or less (based on my own spending), these outings are hopefully within the budget of ever couple.

January

Go to a new grocery store to peruse for ingredients (free).

*If you want to make a purchase, feel free to save grocery budget funds for this.

February

Make a Valentine's Day treat (free using ingredients in the cupboards, or less than $10 if purchasing ingredients).

March

Run your own 5K.

*If you have never run 5K  before, I recommend starting training in January. I use Hal Higdon plans.

April

Go kite-flying. (Borrow a kite, or buy a cheap one.)

May

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with tacos! (Make your own, or purchase affordable tacos at a fast food restaurant such as Taco Bell.)

June

Explore a new park (free in your local neighborhood, or negligible gas to drive to a neighborhood with lights)

July

Watch the fireworks (free in your local community or on television).

August

Dollar menu dinner (Check local fast food restaurants for costs.)

*We ate at Del Taco.

September

Labor Day board games (free from the closet, or under $10 to purchase a new game)

October: 

Pumpkin carving (under $10, if purchased at a grocery or other retail score)

November:

PJs and puzzle (under $10 on Amazon, delivered!)

December:

Christmas lights walk (free in your local neighborhood, or negligible gas to drive to a neighborhood with lights)
