Hi friends!
How is your week going? I am still reminiscing over the weekend. Will and I spent in western Virginia. The fall foliage was seriously stunning (see below!) and the fresh air was just what we needed. The weekend away reminded me how wonderful the simple things are in life and how a good time doesn’t need to cost anything. All that matters is that you’re in good company! So, today I’m sharing fun and cheap date ideas that Will and I have done.
Sneak Peek
First, there’s a little sneak peek for you I need to point out. The photos, courtesy of Joffoto, in this post are from some modeling I did for The Little Market’s newest locals bag for Washington, D.C. We had a blast visiting the local farmer’s market (hello, cheap date idea #1!) and putting The Little Market’s reusable bag to good use. I will do a full post on the blog with more photos and details of the bag and The Little Market soon.
Cheap Date Ideas
- Browse your local Farmer’s Market.
- Volunteer at the Animal Shelter. (Warning: you may end up adopting an animal!)
- Play cards or board games
, with a side of B&B on the rocks.
- Visit the zoo.
- Throwback Thursday – take a walk down memory lane together. Give a tour of memorable childhood places, like your school, neighborhood or playground.
- Cook together and try a new recipe.
- Go on a hike.
- Visit a new food truck and have a picnic at the park
.
- Star gaze at the beach.
- Hang out on the swings of a nearby playground, and pretend you’re 5 again!
- Go fishing
or catch fire flies at dusk.

or catch fire flies at dusk.What I like about these ideas most is that they all give you and your partner time to focus on each other, and really have good quality time with each other. Over the past couple years, Will and I have discovered the difference in being together and truly being focused on having good quality time together. For me, this means putting my phone away and any other distractions!
Outfit details: Dress | Vest | Shoes (Similar) | Necklace | Watch | Bag
I think the outfit I wore for our visit to the farmer’s market in DC could be worn for a lot of the date ideas I shared. What do you think? Are any of the date ideas on my list your personal favorites? Or, do you have a go-to cheap date ideas that are not on my list? I would love to hear your thoughts and how you and your significant other maintain a cadence of having quality time together.
Cheers,

Great date suggestions! Also I really love your outfit and that long vest!
It’s funny because these are all things my hubby and I do (or used to do) and I never thought of them being cheap dates, lol! I have a new view of them now and I’ll cherish them all the more so. Side note, I think your outfit is so cute for a day out at the farmer’s market 😉
Your photos are gorgeous! I was just talking to my boyfriend about having a date night the other day… a little wine, dinner, and movie after the kids go to sleep sounds perfect to me!
I swear cheap dates tend to be the best dates. I think the amount of effort/creativity you put into a cheap date makes it feel more intimate. Going out for a nice dinner every now and then is fine, but putting in the thought to do something unique makes better memories.
I’m originally from upstate New York and I’m so missing the foliage! Also, that looks like one amazing farmer’s market!
I really like these ideas! They are simple but still very enjoyable.
Great Idea!! I love that jute Tote. It looks great!!
Those are really great ideas for a date. Its something different from just going to dinner and a movie. Love your outfit as well.
These are simple and easy tips that all couples chan do. No excuses, lol. Love your outfit 😍
I love your list. I would love to try fishing. You look awesome in your outfit.
Long since I did something like this. The outfit is cool, looks so comfy.
And that bag is made of jute right? Great pics.
I love these ideas. We try and do something special just the two of use at least once a week.
My hubby and I love doing these! I never thought of doing a ‘Throwback Thursday’. Guess I know what we are going for sate night next week! (:
