With the high cost of living nowadays, it may seem hard to find an economical way to spend time with your loved one. The following is a list of things you can do on a date that won’t break your budget.
1. Play foosball, air hockey, or skeeball- It’s fun to play games and get excited about winning or catching up.
2. Go to a bookstore- Read each other a story, article or a poem from an interesting book or magazine while sipping some frapuccinos.
3. Go to the grocery- Purchase some midnight snacks to watch at home while watching a video.
4. Go to a tourist spot- Spend $5 dollars each for a souvenir for each other.
5. Go to a karaoke bar- Sing to your hearts content and just pay for a drink or two.
6. Go rent a bowling lane- Some bowling alleys still charge $10 or less to rent a lane per hour.
7. Go to a park or playground – You can catch some fresh air, lie on the grass or push each other on the swing.
8. Go to a museum or garden- Bring a camera. Take pictures of interesting items and exhibits.
9. Go to a free classical concert or play- Check your local papers for listings of events happening around you.
10. Go to a thrift store- Purchase a vintage item for each other like a funky hat or glasses.
Who ever said fun had to be expensive? What’s important is the company, your attitude and the memories you’ll share.

A happy mommy's Weblog 
On the weekend, my hubby and I went out to the local farmer’s market. It was a very cold, wintery day here, so something indoors appealed! We didn’t buy anything, just wandered around, but did note some things we might go back for. We’ve also done parks and museums, cheap movies, etc.
We like to go to a home improvement store like Home Depot and get our future vision for our home aligned. It is a great way for us to communicate with each other (we are both very visual) and usually we purchase a how to book that insures that when we are good and ready to tackle the next project that we will be eduated and ready to save some money too!
