Being in college, I don't expect my boyfriend to be rolling in the dough, and he knows that i'm certainly not either. Everything seems to cost an arm and a leg, but it doesn't have to. Whether your'e in a bind, or just want to save some cash, here are a few ways to spice up your dating life for little to no money.

1. Netflix and chill

Take a load off. Order some Chinese and pick out a cheesy scary movie off of Netflix or Redox.

2. Change jar

My boyfriend got me a custom made coin jar to hang up beside my door. When we have extra change we drop it in the jar. After a couple of weeks/months go by we take the change to Coinstar, get dressed up and go on a fancy date.

3. Matinee movie

Pack a big purse and grab that $5 movie ticket right after work. It may be early, but you'll miss the crowd and you can't beat that.

4. Explore

Go to an old town or somewhere you are not familiar with, walk around and window shop. The only thing holding you back is gas money.

5. Try a new recipe together

Agree on a Pintresty recipe, throw on an apron and give it a shot. You can even go the extra mile by lighting candles and dressing up as if you are going to a fancy restaurant.

6. Go outside

Go hiking on a cool trail, camping in the woods or anything active. This is a great way to bond and get to know each other better without having to spend a dime.
