The next time you are hanging out with someone, try some new ideas that will guarantee both a fun and money saving time!
Coupon Date:
This is no normal date. Check out local establishments, flyers in the mail and websites like coupons.com, and cut out anything that looks entertaining. For the date, you are only allowed to go to places that you have coupons for, be it restaurants, movie theaters, bowling alleys or any other establishments. Have fun, save money and check out some new places.
Crazy Dinner:
If you are in the mood to test your cooking skills, be adventurous or just have a unique date, this could be the date for you. Each person gets $10 (or a set amount that you decide) and gets to buy anything they want at the grocery store. Then, you must go home and prepare a meal with all of the ingredients you purchased. This makes for an interesting dinner.
Treasure Hunt:
Thrift stores are known for their great deals, but they can also be a great time. Each person gets $5 to buy the best items they can find, then put together an outfit. The most creative or unique outfit wins. You would be surprised what combinations you come up with, and also how resourceful you can be, all while having fun on a date.
Metro Madness:
If you have a good sense of direction, or at least a phone with a GPS, then this could be a great time. Choose a number between one and five, a color (red, orange, blue, green or yellow) and a direction (into or out of the city). Then, head to your nearest Metro station and get on the line that matches the color you chose. Get off at the stop that matches the number, and find one fun thing to do in that area. Repeat or change numbers if necessary.
