Ideas for the Thrifty Dater
Welcome back!
Since most of us have cut back our spending quite a bit, I figure we need to also cut back on our dating budgets. Sorry boys, put your limo driver and jewelry purchases on hold! Regardless of the amount of money you are able to spend, you can still dazzle your date. It just means you have to be a bit more creative. And who doesn’t enjoy being creative…?
In most cities there are ways to find out about events that are free or relatively cheap just by searching online. Below are a few upcoming events in major cities across the US that I would recommend looking into! Each one of these events or places would be a great place to enjoy time with a date. Paired with a simple lunch or dinner (maybe a picnic) or an eclectic food stop nearby, your wallet may still have a few bucks left! Of course, always double check with these venues prior to your date to ensure you have the correct information and times. If you need help finding events in your specific location, email me at oliva@insidedatingstory.com.
