Date night on 3 budgets

Every couple needs to have date nights no matter what their budget or situation so I have come up with six date ideas on three budgets. The first set is more of a typical date and the second set is a little less traditional and a little more exciting.

Dinner, movie, and drinks!
1. $100.00 date night
Go to a restaurant where you can typically pay around $50.00 for two people, i.e. Applebee's. After dinner go to the theater and try to agree on a movie. The movies can cost any where from $8.00 to $12.00 a person depending on where you live. On the way home pick up a bottle of wine or a six pack of beer depending on your tastes.

2. $50.00 Date night
Rent a DVD at a video rental place or pick on netflix.com if you have it. Go out to an inexpensive restaurant that will cost $30.00 for the two of you and then pick up some drinks to have while you watch your movie at home!

3. $25.00 date night
Google different recipes and find one you will both like. Here are some great links to find recipes.

Rent a movie from a video rental place or on netflix.com and pick up some drinks to enjoy. It could be lots of fun, especially if you cook together.

Non-traditional dates

1. $100.00 date
Paintball! It's an exciting way to have an action packed date, you can even double date or have a large group date. From what I have found you can rent everything and play for as low as $30.00 a person but can be more. Just do your homework for the best rates around you!

2. $50.00 date
Canoeing! If you are in an area with lots of lakes and rivers this could be a fun bonding experience. You can rent a canoe at a canoe rental place for around $25.00 and spend the next couple hours going down the river talking and eating. Use the remainder $25.00 to pack a lunch and buy sun block and bug spray!

3. $25.00 date
Disc Golf! This is a fun game mixing golf and Frisbee. You can find free courses all over the place. The only thing that will cost money is the disc's themselves. You can buy them for $10.00 a piece new or buy a few more of them by getting used ones on www.ebay.com. I found them as low as $2.50 and with the savings you can pack a picnic, sun block and bug spray!
