Couples Time Ideas:


We all like to spend time with that special someone. By being a little creative we can keep that spark in the relationship (or kindle a new one) without breaking the bank. Here are some ideas of frugal ways to spend time with that special someone.

Get Active:


  • Go for a walk - There are many romantic locations around most towns. Take a walk around a botanical garden, park, at the beach, a lake, state park, or even a nightly stroll around the block after dinner.
  • Mall walk - If the weather isn't too great outside, enjoy a walk in the mall. People watching can also be pretty fun.
  • Go for a hike - If you live by the mountains or a state park, enjoy the rugged outdoors and the company.
  • Take a bike ride - If you don't have a bike, ask a friend to borrow theirs or you may be able to find a reasonable rental rate.
  • Play basketball - Basketball hoops can easily be found in most neighborhood parks.
  • Go for a run - Enjoy going for a run together in a local park or neighborhood. If you're more the competitive type, sign up for a local 5K run together. These usually support a local charity or good cause.
  • Go for a swim - Is there a pool, beach or lake nearby? This is a great opportunity for a little something different.
  • Play tennis - Many city parks offer free tennis court usage.
  • Go ice skating - Look out for those ice skating rink coupons.
  • Go bowling - Bowling coupons or specials are usually available (whenever there aren't leagues playing). It's best to call ahead first.
  • Rent (or borrow) a boat - If you live close to a river or lake that rents boats, why not give it a try. Whether you want to try a paddle boat, row boat, canoe, sail boat, or fishing boat, enjoy getting out and doing something different.
  • Golf or Put-put Golf - Check to see if you can find a city owned golf course, they are usually much less expensive. Or, try a game of pu-put for something out of the ordinary.
  • Play in the snow - Enjoy reliving your youth and you can even make a snowman together.
