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.
