Valentine's Day Posting: Date Ideas for the Cheap

Cheap can still be romantic.  And you know us.  Were cheap and poor!

So heres a couple ideas for the rest of you incase your in a similar state or just wanna splurge on a nicer gift.


1.  Movie Night

All you need is a couple snacks, drinks, and a rental.  Try and base those choices off the movie you'll watch or on the other persons interest...  It doesn't have to be a romantic film. 

Example?  Last V'Day me and Inchworm watched a Friday the 13th MARATHON!  It was not scary, we laughed our asses off but it was super fun and we enjoyed a big tray of "Trash Fries" and a few malt beers.  It was our kind of thing.


2.  Candle Lit Dinner

Cook with them or make it ahead of time.  Just a nicer dinner with candles, semi romantic music, maybe even flowers...  Bottle of wine and dessert wouldn't hurt.


We were planning to do this before he had to go...  Planning to make some chicken, enjoy some chocovine wine, and listen to Wham... Felt like something Deadpool would plan.


3.  Camping Trip

Back Yard or nearby park if their out doorsy this tends to be a winner.  Make smores, cuddle up, and stare at the stars!  If its in your backyard you can skip the tent and just use a old comforter to lay on.


4.  Romantic Stroll

For this one you just pretty much go on a nice walk/hike depending on what you like.  Grab a coffee (not cheap I know, but cheaper then a fancy meal) and just enjoy the sights.  Every store has holiday stuff up so its the right mood.  Maybe bring along some soft music.


5.  Spa Day

Perfect for girls, especially the ones who care about their image or enjoy some pampering (This is most but not all girls).  Let them wear a soft robe, do their toes, give them a back rub, have some finger foods, and make sure to avoid getting products they don't use already-Theres NOTHING romantic about breaking out due to a reaction from some face cream.


6.  Game Day

This has a couple meanings...  First you'll need snacks and drinks.  Then choose based on the others personal likings:  Board Games, Video Games, or Watching Sports.  Girls especially, a lot of men enjoy sports... We don't know why but watching other men get beat to a pulp is something they highly enjoy...  So just sit quietly, nod your head, and try to be interested by asking some questions.  Men with women who enjoy sports, its the same idea. 


For those who don't celebrate or aren't dating...  Take the night to stay in and watch some DVR, Netflix, or a rental.  It'll help you avoid the mushy stuff, the themed ads, and the drama of couples that aren't clicking.


Have a Happy Valentine's Day!
