Bonfire Night
Since most of the country is experiencing freezing temps, planning a bonfire night is a great idea to warm up! It also sets the romantic tone for the both of you. Gather your blankets, some treats, a bottle of wine, and that special someone and take it to your backyard or the beach. Some beaches have bonfire rings where all you need to buy is wood, which can be inexpensive at the grocery store. If you already have a bonfire pit in your backyard then you can gather some wood and you’re set to go without even leaving your house. Don’t forget the s’mores on this date because that is the best part! A romantic date night on a budget!

Picnic at the park
Another great way to save money and still enjoy a date with your S.O. is a picnic in the outdoors. No waiters, no bill, no waiting to eat – this is time between just the two of you and you can enjoy the food you already have at home. If you do need a few supplies – the grocery store sells pre-made sandwiches, which don’t cost too much and snacks too. Anyways, it will be way more budget friendly at the park than at a restaurant especially on Valentine’s Day. Since we are always on our phone and cooped up inside these days, enjoy your date outside and take in some calm and chill time that you never get together.

If your S.O. and you love to create dishes in the kitchen, then this is the date for you. Get a recipe or even whip something up off Pinterest. Be creative and work together – adding a bottle of wine and music can make the night even more relaxing. Not much $ going into this date except for yummy food that you already have at home, fun music, and quality time spent together.
