I hate when couples complain that they can’t go on dates because they have no money because that’s not an excuse to be with someone that makes you happy. Here are a few idea of ‘no money’ or minimal money dates that don’t need any effort

1. Target Date

Honestly most girls I know love target and need to go there every once in a while to get stuff they need, this can honestly be with any store but I love target. Going to run errands with your significant other is so fun, they help you pick things out and you having random conversations and just enjoy each others company. The best moments I’ve even had with friends or guy friends are spent running errands. One time in Florida I went grocery shopping with all of my friends that came on the trip with me and it was just so fun seeing ways they shop or even having different conversations of foods or life!

2. Movie nights

A RedBox movie for $1 or seeing movies on YouTube is the most fun as well. You grab whatever snacks you have in the house and just have a movie marathon with your best friend and enjoy each other’s company. You can never go wrong with making brownies and watching a movie on a gloomy night.

3. Beach walks

Driving to the beach and just walking or sitting down to have a picnic is so much fun, the beach is my favorite place to be at any time of the day so just relaxing and talking about life and playing some music is the best, if you do it at night its even more fun because you can sit back and watch the stars and just imagine what space is like or just how you are in a moment of peace with someone you love.

4. Local free museum days

At least in Chicago going to the zoo is free or sometimes on weekends there’s free dates you can visit a museum. Take advantage of that, that’s a few hours in the day that you can stay occupied and have so much fun doing new things together!

Never miss out on an opportunity to hang out and do something special, its not about the monetary value or the material items but its more of the experience and of the memories that you can keep for a life time!
