I know that between bills and school we don't have a lot of money to go on an expensive date with our sweetie. However, dates don't have to be expensive to have a great time. Here are five simple but amazing dates that won't break the bank.

1. Going to the zoo

Going to the zoo is so much fun and are tons of activities there! Some zoos are free of admission, and all you have to pay for is parking which is only around five bucks. Also, most zoos will let you bring a picnic that you can eat so you can save money on the food and drinks.

2. Go on a picnic

A picnic is great because you can buy items to make sandwiches, cheap chips and cheap drinks. You also get to get to enjoy the outdoors and view nature and get some fresh air.

3. Going for a drive

A drive in the country is super fun as well! Just spending time enjoying each other is all that a date is really about, and you can jam out to the radio and act silly together.

4. A night under the stars

Grab a blanket, some snacks and drinks and just enjoy the beautiful stars. You get to observe how amazing nature is and you get to snuggle up to your sweetie.

5. Have a movie night at home

This is my favorite by far. You may have to get food or you can simply make what you have at home. You also can watch what movies you have. Just put the movie in, cuddle on the couch and enjoy!

These are my favorite cheap dates that don't have to feel cheap. I hope you can enjoy these as much as I do.
