Dating On A Budget

You know here at BMWK we believe in dating your spouse so we wanted to talk about ways you can date on a budget. I ran across an article on msn about date nights for under 15 bucks. Here are some of their ideas:

Romantic Italian Meal
While it’s odd to say that dogs once epitomized romance, we loved the scene at the Italian restaurant in Lady and the Tramp. Skip the pricey pasta and opt for the cheaper (and cheesier!) pizza instead. Kissing isn’t optional.

2 slices of pizza: $5
2 glasses of wine: $4
Ice cream for 2: $6
Total: $15

===============

People-watching aka Create Your Own Movie
Not all dates have to be steamy! Simply spending time together is what dating is all about. Pick a beautiful day to sit on a bench in a park and marvel at the wonders — and freaks! – of nature.

Bottle of wine: $8
Plastic cups: $3
Bench: free
Marveling at the wonders of the public: more fun than you think
Total: $11

===============

Take a Bath Together
Hot tubs are overrated! There’s fun to be had in your very own bathroom. Rub-a-dub-dub, keep it sexy in the tub.

Luxurious bath soap and salts: $8
Back-massaging Loofah: $5
Getting clean and being dirty at the same time: sexy
Total: $13

What are some of the ways you can think of to date on the cheap? Let us know this economy is getting crazy.

    This post made me laugh more than anything. Some things are over priced and some under. 2 glasses of wine for $4, you can't even get sparkling cider that cheap. LOL. Plastic cups $3, I can get 32 plastic cups for less than that & sitting on a bench (for free) with an $8 bottle of wine. Can't you get arrested for an open container?

    @ Anna- Wine - Boones Farm 4.00 per bottle Plastic Cups - 3.00 from the liqour store where they sell them extremely high priced and individually for 1.50 per cup, even though you could get 50 from the grocery store for the same price. Getting Arrested For An Open Container - only in black neighborhoods. LOL

    Best cheap date source is the newspaper - every week the washington post lists tons of free activities. did you know that the kennedy center (!!) hosts free performances starting at 6 on weekdays? we also weren't afraid to use coupons or two for one specials when we wanted to eat out.
