1. Pumpkin patch/ Pumpkin carving

Pumpkins are the face of fall and luckily, they’re just about everywhere. The perfect inexpensive date this fall is to go and pick out your perfect pumpkin with the perfect person or pick each other’s.

2. Apple picking

Luckily most apple orchards have pumpkins as well, pick up your favorite fall fruits and make a day out of it.

3. Hayrides

4. Haunted house

The scarier the better. Haunted houses are the perfect time to grab someone close and be scared together, or just laugh at the ridiculous actors.

5. Scary movie night in

Apple cider, "The Goonies" and chill? Grab some festive snacks and cuddle up to some good old Halloween themed movies.

6. Fall cooking

7. Goodwill/ costume hunting

Nothing’s better than a homemade costume, why not turn your costume shopping into a date? Find out what looks good on your partner, or what’s just flat out goofy on them.

8. "Boo" someone

Create a basket of Halloween goodies and ding dong ditch one of your friends with the surprise for them, leave them a sheet with a ghost on it that tells them they got booed and tell them to continue the tradition on.

9. Target dollar section

You can’t go wrong with visiting the Target dollar section if you’re a Halloween fan. The fun never stops between plastic pumpkins to Halloween candies and really anything spooky you can think of for just a dollar.
