Wait… No… Rewind.

For those of you that manage to have somewhat healthy relationships, I hear that the economy is making it rough to have a decent date night anymore. And it makes sense. With salaries being cut, and things seeming to cost more and more, it’s only a matter of time until you wind up spending the majority of your time staring at each other with nothing to do.

One of my best female friends (yes, I have them) was mentioning to me how hard it was to have a date night with her fiance because of finances, and I got to thinking. There has to be some resource with ideas for a decent date night that doesn’t break the bank.

Then I found Thirty Dollar Date Night. A site devoted to, well, date nights under thirty bucks. They even have a section just for Chicago Date Ideas, so it can’t be all bad.

I’ve flipped through it a little bit, and yes, some of the ideas are just bad. For example, “Camp overnight in your backyard! Pitch a tent, cook on a little gas bbq and make yourself a little campfire. Avoid going in the house if you can!” Not going to happen. I am not sleeping that close to nature when there’s a perfectly nice air conditioned inside 20 feet away.

Or, “Cook dinner together – naked!” Which I suppose is nice as long as you don’t cook bacon.

Regardless, there are some pretty solid ideas for pretty cheap. Who knows it might inspire you to make your own! Or not. But it’s worth a shot.
