Summer Relationship Fun On a Tight Budget – here are 20 ways for couples to have fun on a tight budget.
- Old-School Game Night. Everyone enjoys reminiscing occasionally. There are still a lot of places with old arcades or bars with old arcade games. Spend the night competing against each other at air hockey, pool, mini-basketball, and car racing. When you play games from your childhood, you’re sure to have a great time. Some places have days when admission is only half price (Dave & Busters have half-priced Wednesdays).

Hey you can even put on your matching t-shirts.
- Movies Under the Stars. If you have a backyard or patio, this is the best way to spend a summer night. Get some blankets and pillows and make a small spot outside for the two of you to lie down (if you have a small tent, even better). Make your favorite snacks, grab a 6-pack of beer, and pick a movie on Netflix or Hulu that everyone wants to see. You can use your laptop, iPad, or even buy a small projector.
- Find a Festival. If you live near a big city, there are food festivals going on all the time during the summer. Facebook is great because it usually lists events in the “areas near you” section, so you can go look for some cool ones. There’s no question that some will also show up in a town near you. Often, churches and schools in the area hold carnivals and food festivals to raise money, and anyone can go. Instead of eating one big meal, you can buy a bunch of great little snacks and try new things together
- Go on a Road Trip. A good old-fashioned road trip will make a good relationship even better.
- Baseball Game. Everyone thinks that sporting events are always very expensive, but they don’t have to be. Most baseball tickets can be bought the day of the game or at the ballpark for less money. Instead of buying $20 beers at the game, drink before the game and save money. You can split food while you’re there, and then go to a nearby bar afterward.
- Bike Riding Together. Take your partner biking around the neighborhood or a nearby park to see the sights. If you don’t have bikes of your own, you can usually rent them for a low price.
- Cook Together. When you add up the cost of drinks, appetizers, the meal, dessert, and coffee or tea, going out to dinner can get pricey. Instead of going out to eat, why not cook together and spend time with each other? You can find a new recipe you’d both like on Pinterest, or you can have a whole night devoted to one type of food. The best part is messing around at the grocery store and laughing while you cook. You spend a lot more time together and have a lot more fun than if you just went out to dinner. Plus, you save money
