Date nights are some of the best nights…but not when you\u2019re running low on cash. Lucky for you, spending time with your boo doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it’s going to put a dent in your wallet every time.<\/p>\n

These activities will cost little to no money and will keep you and your partner\u00a0entertained all fall long. Now, who\u2019s ready to enjoy some quality time with their S.O. without spending a dime? Yep, we thought so!<\/p>\n

Go on a Picnic<\/strong>
\nBreak out whatever is in the fridge and take an impromptu picnic. Grab a blanket, that bottle of wine you\u2019ve always got on hand and get outside! A picnic will provide good food and quality time…the best part? You save a lot of money.<\/p>\n

Take a Hike<\/strong>
\nThe seasons are changing so that means it\u2019s time to dig out the flannel shirts from the back of your closet and frolic in\u00a0the great outdoors. Go on a romantic hike with your loved one and admire\u00a0all of the gorgeous foliage.<\/p>\n

Have a Staycation<\/strong>
\nIf you and your man would rather Netflix and chill, that\u2019s totally OK, too. Dates definitely don\u2019t have to be formal. No pants and binge-watching is just what a relationship needs from time to time.<\/p>\n

Adventure in Your Town<\/strong>
\nIf there\u2019s an area of town that you\u2019re not familiar with or a little caf\u00e9 you\u2019ve never been to, what are you waiting for? Get out and explore with your S.O. because even places you\u2019re familiar with can show you something new.<\/p>\n

Have a Pampering Session<\/strong>
\nInstead of the “dinner and a movie”\u00a0routine, why don\u2019t you make a new tradition of \u00a0“wine and foot rubs.” Grab\u00a0the lotion and prepare to\u00a0relax with the one you love.<\/p>\n

Sit Around a Campfire<\/strong>
\nThe ingredients for s\u2019mores won\u2019t cost you much so drop by\u00a0the grocery store and get ready to roast some marshmallows over an open flame. Hot chocolate, your love interest, and an ooey gooey chocolate treat? Sounds like the perfect way to spend\u00a0a fall night!<\/p>\n

Get Crafty<\/strong>
\nWhen your S.O. comes over, break out the adult coloring books and colored pencils. Getting creative can be a fun (and affordable) way to let loose and spend quality\u00a0time together. There\u2019s an adult coloring book in the\u00a0FabFitFun Fall Box<\/a>, so when you want to stay in on a Friday night, we\u2019re here to help you do it just right!<\/p>\n

Visit a Museum
\n<\/strong>Going to a museum may cost an admission fee, but that\u2019s the only time you’ll need to spend cash. A night spent taking in\u00a0art together is sure to be entertaining!<\/p>\n

Plan a Game Night\u00a0<\/strong>
\nWhether you\u2019re into board games or watching sports, there\u2019s nothing better than a game night. It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re on the same team or rooting against each other — bring out your competitive side for a nice change of pace.<\/p>\n

Go to a Food Market<\/strong>
\nTake your date to a food market full of free samples. It\u2019ll be fun to walk around and try new foods together — and it won’t\u00a0cost you a thing.<\/p>\n

Organize an At-Home Cooking Class<\/strong>
\nCooking classes can definitely be fun, but they\u2019re also pricey. So create your own cooking class at home! Have your date select a dish they love to prepare and let them\u00a0show you how it\u2019s done. Then you teach them a thing or two next week. It’s a nice change of pace to eat in and there’s no better way to bond than with good food.<\/p>\n
