 Were you two regulars at the nearest casino? Instead of dropping hundreds of dollars or more, buy a couple of instant lottery tickets and scratch them together. It may not be quite the same experience, but you can make it personal. Discuss what each of you would do if you won the jackpot and compare your dreams. An activity such as this provides an opportunity for couples that are already committed to each other to share their hopes for the future. If gambling is not your style, but going to the movie theatre regularly was your idea of the ideal date, then check out local events taking place in your community. Some recreational parks offer things like movies in the park on a giant screen with a B.Y.O.B policy (bring your own blanket, of course). There are also countless local festivals at your fingertips, most of which can be found on your city or town's website. See The Bright Side Finding something to do at a time when you’re cutting costs gives you a chance to be creative. Instead of looking at it as a bad thing, remind yourself that the two of you will have so many opportunities to try new things and enjoy spending some quality time together. If you live in the city, it can be a little more challenging to find cheap (or free) date ideas. Cities are full of things to do, but most of them are expensive. Take this opportunity to visit friends or family who live in the suburbs. You can spend many nights hanging out with friends you have been too busy to see. They may even be feeling the same pressure to save money and would welcome a spontaneous visit or invite. No matter what you do, look at it as an opportunity to bond instead of having to tighten the purse strings. This will make you both more receptive to trying different things and taking full advantage of your situation. |
