Life doesn’t stop because the economy is in turmoil. The Dow gains 200 points one day and loses 500 points the next and somebody wants you to go on the date. Did I mention you’re going dutch? Nothing is wrong with that if you’re an independent woman, but no one wants to pay 90 bucks to go see a movie, eat stale popcorn, and drink flat soda, only to have the loud mouth guy behind you be funnier than the actually movie. So I’ve come up with 5 great date ideas that are friendly for a wallet during the recession.
Happy Days - During happy hour, bars and restaurants have wonderful deals like 40 cent wings, 2 dollar beers and 3 buck beverages. You can spend this time having great conversation over some drinks and good food. Remember the food and drinks don’t change just the prices.
Get Cultured - Museums, Art Galleries and public parks are generally free. So why not take advantage of some of the tourist attractions your town has to offer? Chances are you haven’t been there and if you have you were probably like 5 the last time you visited. There are tons of things you can do there, mainly laugh at out of towners. As we know nothing brings a couple closer than laughing at other people.
Brunch - It’s not really breakfast and it’s not really lunch, but it’s a great way to get great food, for a great price. Here in Atlanta there are plenty of trendy spots who offer brunch buffets, so why not head there after a morning snack?
Kesha’s House - Admit it we all know at least 5 women named Kesha, and I’m willing to bet money that one of them are having something at their house this weekend. So, why not bring your new friend? Free drinks, free food and you can take home a plate!!
Combo Value Date - Grab your laptop, put on your sneakers and something relaxing to wear and go for a walk. Not just any walk a walk to the book store. I don’t know about y’all, but I can spend hours in the book store just getting lost in all the information available at the turn of the page. After you’re done browsing, walk some more to a coffee shop and relax over a nice hot cup of Joe.(Not the plumber) The two of you can crack open the laptops and browse the internet together. Which honestly is one of the funniest things I think a couple can do together. After you’re done with your coffee, latte or whatever you call it, head back to the house and get busy.
