50 date ideas under $30

Photo Credit: Delaluz Photos

Ricky and I have been married for a little over a year and dated for FIVE YEARS TEN MONTHS which seemed forever! We went on several dates throughout this time of which many were repeated. You know the usual, dinner and a movie, or just dinner, the occasional shopping, art walk, or the ever to so popular take-out and red box. Don't get me wrong, I love doing all these things with my husband but it can become monotonous.


I think I was 18 in this picture. That was 7 years ago!

 





So in an attempt to bring some variety to our date night I made a list of different ideas mostly under $20! These can also double as great Valentine's  night out. Just take some chocolate covered strawberries and you're good to go. Some of these are specific to where I live but can be tweaked to your area.
