Cheap dates: 10 Dates Under $10

We've all heard how far in the dumps the economy is, but romance doesn't have to be : 0
Use the following ideas to rekindle the love in your life on the cheap!

1. Spa Night-Run a bubble bath and soak in it with your sweetie, and afterwards, set up a towel on your bed or the floor and use some lotion you already have for personal massages. Take your date into the next morning and sleep in!
2. Roller Skating-As long as you don't mind being the oldest individuals in the skating rink besides the parents, have fun with your sweetie on wheels.
3. Fruit Picking-Local fruit farm (peaches in the south, apples in the midwest, grapes in the west, you get the idea) gives you an opportunity to get close to your honey amongst the trees. Once you get home, search for some delicious recipes for the fruits of your labor!
4. Design your dream house-This can be done a couple of ways: you could spend the afternoon going to open houses discussing future homes or you could begin to sketch out the home of your dreams.
5. Bookstore browsing-Even if you aren't buying, it can still be fun to peruse the shelves of cds, how to manuals, romance novels, fiction, and fun calendars. This might be a great way to discover mutual interests and hobbies. Bonus: some bookstores have a coffee shop that will act as secondary part of your date.
6. Sweets with your Sweetie-stop by a local chocolate shop, bakery, or cookie factory. If it is a larger facility, you can ask for a tour or ask to watch bakers decorating cakes or baking cookies.
7. Hiking-grab some water bottles, granola bars, and hit the trails! Try to time it just right so that your hike ends around the time the sun goes down-watching the sun set is so simple and so romantic.
   
8. Volunteer together-Nothing gives you the feeling like volunteers do. Head to your local animal shelter to snuggle up with animals or get some exercise with the dogs.
   
9. Coffee and Open Mic Night-Some coffee shops will host a a free open mic night. Whether it be music or poetry, it can be hit and miss with talent. Even if it's bad, you'll still get some good laughs.
10. Organize a pot luck with another couple-want to show your new flame that you've got some skills in the kitchen? Set up a fun potluck dinner with another couple for a cheap date idea. You can even set up a theme for the evening like all red foods, foods that start with the letter "r", or Mexican foods, etc.

Enjoy a fun, frugal date!
