43 Free (or cheap) Date Ideas


When you're working on achieving financial goals in life that usually means you've got to save save save.  Just because you're working on saving it doesn't mean you can't have fun date nights. This winter Kevin and I are working on the financial 101 list items so that means cutting back on going out and spending money the next few months. He helped me devise a list of great free or really cheap date ideas. Many of these ideas we like to implement regularly, like visiting a free local museum or enjoying a fancier dish like steak at home. Do you have any free or really cheap date ideas you use regularly? I know we could definitely use more!!
