17 Inexpensive & Good Date Night Ideas (2 of 4)

Solve Some Puzzles Or Something Else

Get some music on, get some snacks and open up a box of puzzles. Puzzles of course help with problem solving, but there is also a sense of teamwork that can strengthen bonds. There is a surprising amount of teamwork that stems from an activity that is simple in concept and inexpensive.

On a similar note, building other things other than puzzles works as well. There are tons of crafts that couples can do that are practical. You’ve also got other items that require some assembly as well like bird houses, or bookshelves.

Check Out A Play

When we think of plays, some of us might think of broadways, but that’s not what we’re talking about. While those are nice, they are pretty expensive. But what isn’t – is checking out the shows that the local high school(s), or community college(s) put on. You might also be fortunate to have a drama community that puts on shows on occasion. All of them are pretty cheap in comparison and the performances are still solid.

Work Out Together

Another unusual activity you wouldn’t think of doing, but it does make sense. Whenever working out, you are releasing endorphins, which is a good thing for various reasons. All we’ll say is afterwards, make sure you take a shower.

What’s also nice about this is you don’t have to go to a local gym. There are thousands of workout videos on YouTube that range in difficulty.

Movie Marathon On Netflix, Youtube, or DVD/Bluray

From the Marvel films to Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and more, there are many great movie series you can check out. Grab a bowl of popcorn and binge watch some of your favourite movie sagas.

You have plenty of alternatives to watch those movies again either through Netflix, Youtube, or through your own movie collection. Alternatively, you can always go for a specific theme if these series aren’t your thing. With platforms like Netflix and Youtube, these can easily facilitate that.

One other alternative is checking out some of the new series that Netflix produces as well. The content is great and the performances are wonderful too.

Romantic Dinner At Home

Fancy restaurants are nice, but they’re not always the best when you’re on a budget. The thing is you don’t always need a fancy restaurant to connect over food. What’s important is getting the atmosphere, which you can certainly do at home.

Get some nice dinnerware, some candles and put on some music that fits the mood. In terms of the food, it doesn’t need to be exquisite. There are tons of easy recipes you can check out that work well like spaghetti or burgers. However, if you are skilled in this area, challenge yourself with something nice.
