This week we tried something fun and different. We have been married 9 years and so sometimes we find ourselves in a rut. It was actually one of my favorite dates to date. And you can do this too!
We dropped the kids of at the grandparents for 1 hour. We didn’t have much time but it was actually just enough for what we had planned. First stop was Quiznos. We used these Quiznos coupons to get use 2 meals (2 drinks and 2 subs) for under $5! We got the subs to go and drove to our next stop. We drove to our neighborhood park. The timing was perfect since it was about sunset AND it was not crowded. In fact there was no one there! We set at a picnic table and enjoyed the perfect scenery and enjoyed each others conversation!
It allowed us time to talk and discuss everything that was on our minds. We could eat in peace and really focus on each other. We spent very little on dinner and used very little gas by staying in the neighborhood. If you have more time you could drive to the beach, lake, or other romantic spot and do the same thing.
If you are looking for more free fun ideas you could try:

Thanks for this great post by Madame Deals and Living On Love and Cents!
How does your garden grow? Do you love the one your with? Do you make time for one another? Do you miss the" all about us" time you once had? I do! I have challenged myself to make a change and spend time growing my relationship. The cheap date idea for this week revolves around my husband's hobby and something I love.

The time has to come to admit that we often put the one we love most at the end of our million mile long list. We make being in a relationship a chore instead of a wonderful experience. I am trying to remind myself that I am not only a mom but a wife. It is important to nurture your loved one just like you do for your kids. I am taking a moment, a couple of bucks, and some time to plan for a cheap date to bring them together to create a memory that will last long after the date is over.
I have a favorite meal it is called dessert. I have been known to order dessert first so I do not fill up on the healthy stuff. I planned a date to go to a wine bar and have a glass of wine and dessert. I had dessert and my husband had a glass of wine. We sat outside and just watched the people go by. We listened to the street musicians and we talked about way back when. We had already eaten at home and our quick date allowed us to spend less for a babysitter, not stay out to late, and really focus on one another. My husband asked if next time could he bring his own wine which he wanted to buy at CVS. We will save etiquette rules for another time because I am not sure if he was kidding or serious. We did however have a nice night hand holding, laughing, and the best part was I got to have my cake and eat it.
There are a lot of great local deal sites where you can find something new and exciting to do without breaking the bank.
