I’ve been asked a lot about how to make a date work on a budget. Going on dates is taxing if you think about everything in monetary terms. These ideas need an open minded person because people now believe in blowing a budget for a date that will probably die in the talking phase. Focus on what matters, having fun and learning more about each other.
I tried to keep the ideas on the affordable side because let’s face it, dates can add up quickly. (transport, outfits, make up, whatever else)
Let’s get it! Here are 20 fun date ideas under $25.
