Summer Date Night Ideas for Couples on a Budget
- Head out to your park or even drive in the country, and find a spot to park. Sit outside and star gaze and enjoy the pretty night sky.
- Go to the beach or the lake and just soak up the sun all night long, and then wait to watch the sun go down.
- Check out your local’s Farmer’s Market and look for some fresh produce to make a meal at home. Get creative and find a budget-friendly dish.

- Picnic in the park during a lunch break or even in an evening.
- Grab some fishing lures, poles, and get a one-day fishing pass to catch some fish.
- Look for discounted tickets to amusement parks in your area on Groupons.com and head out for some fun checking out the vendors.
- Camp out even if it is in your backyard for a night. Nothing more fun than being with nature.
