25 Cheap Summer Dates




It's summertime and the living is easy…or so the song goes. The weather may be warmer and the days may be longer, but your wallet doesn't seem to have gotten any bigger.

No worries.

We've got some great ideas for 25 dates you can go on this summer that won't leave you short on cash.

1. Go to an outdoor movie.

2. Go on a walk in a park at dusk.

3. Go on an art gallery crawl that ends at a coffeehouse.

4. Go to a bookstore followed by a wine bar.

5. Go slow dancing in the moonlight in your own back yard.

6. Try out a new recipe at home.

7. Go to the library followed by the ice cream parlor.

9. Stay in one night and have dinner in bed.

10. Get up early and go the farmer's market followed by breakfast.

23. Find your local go-kart track and go racing.
