Frugal First Date Ideas

First Date Ideas that are Frugal

When people first start dating, often times they don’t have a lot of extra money to spend on dates. It is possible to take someone on a first date and be frugal about it. If you’re searching for a frugal first date idea, then check out these ideas.

Frugal First Date Ideas

Picnic at the Park

Is there anything more romantic and frugal than a picnic in the park? I think not. A park is so much fun, especially during the spring months before it gets hot. One person can bring the main course and the other person can bring the dessert. You can spread out a blanket and just spend time talking and getting to know each other.

Dollar Movie Night

If you have a dollar movie theater near you, this is a good idea because the movies are only a couple of bucks. You can eat before you go, so you don’t have to buy snacks, or you can get grab dessert after the movie. Movies aren’t too expensive, it’s the amount of money you spend on popcorn and other snacks that will eat at your wallet.

Painting

There is a new fad going around where you paint a picture, these are usually pretty inexpensive. If you’re looking for a frugal first date night, then consider painting a picture together. You can either paint your own or test your coordination skills and paint together. You can have a lot of fun doing something like this together.

Date Night In

Although it can be kind of weird to go to someone’s house on the first date, you can easily make it a group date “night in.” This is where you each bring a friend and hang out. This is perfect because you don’t have to feel awkward and alone on the first date. Plus, when you stay “in” you can save a ton of money! It’s about getting to know the person anyway, not about how much money they spend.

    I love your frugal ideas. we are blessed to live on the Florida Gulf coast, so one of our favorite date ideas is to walk on the beach at night – or go floating on one of our many rivers or creeks.

    Even though I won’t be going on first dates these are great frugal date ideas! I know when you are out dating those dates can really add up fast and even when marrid with kids.

    A picnic at the park or seeing a movie at one of the discount theaters sound like good ideas to me. So is just strolling through the city where you live and viewing all the sights.

    I’ve always been what my Mom calls working class poor so I have always been careful with money but do not consider myself frugal. All dates, first and otherwise, have always been affordable.
