Who loves a good a date night? I know I do, but I also know that date night can be expensive. Between paying for a sitter and a dinner plus whatever activity we may decide to do, the costs can add up very quickly. Even though I don’t normally pay for date night, I still feel like that money can be spent better in other ways. However, it is still important to have alone time to connect with your significant. With that being said, I have decided to come up with some ideas for a low key date night at home. I figured since my boyfriend always treats me for date night, I will treat him this time.

Now first things first, if you are going to have date night you are going to need food and beverages. My boyfriend is a lover of pizza and can actually eat a large pizza by himself. When I found out that Dollar General had a frozen Tombstone Pizza and 1.25 liter Coca-Cola™ special for less than $5, I knew that would be perfect for our date night. I mean less than $5 for a meal is a heck of a deal. In order to get the deal you need to sign up for Dollar General’s Coupon Loyalty Program, which is a great program that provides digital coupons for a wide variety of in store items. Once you sign up, add the $1 off digital coupon to your saved coupons, and present your rewards number or telephone number associated with the account at checkout. I went to my local Dollar General and did just that. I picked up a frozen Tombstone Pepperoni Pizza and 1.25 liters of Coca-Cola and Diet Coke®. Since my boyfriend really enjoys Diet Coke, I purchased it for him. I on the other hand have always been a Coca-Cola Classic kind of girl, so I got one of those for me. Since Tombstone Pizza and Coca-Cola products go great together, we both enjoyed our Dollar General Easy Meal.

Now that we have food and drink covered, we need some entertainment. Here are a few things that would be fun to do in the comfort of your own home.

1. Movie – Like most people I love a good movie. There are so many great ones available that this would be the perfect time to see one with your significant other. With modern cable you can rent a movie from your cable box, look at the latest releases if you have a video streaming service, or just go old school and flip through the channels until you find something that you both can agree on.
2. Cards – Yes, I love playing card games and I feel like I don’t play them nearly enough. Playing cards requires your full attention, so you are actually living in the moment. It is nice to have a little friendly competition with your significant other. Since “Go Fish” is the only card game I can remember the rules to, it is also a time that my boyfriend can be the teacher. I know I need to brush up on my card game arsenal.
3. Video Games – Okay, so playing video games may not be for everyone because either you hate video games, or you don’t have a console. A lot of guys, and even girls like video games. I am not a huge fan of regular video games where you sit stationary the whole time, but I do love ones that have the games and remotes that require you to get up and move around. If you ever have a chance play the fake air guitar, then you know how addicting that game can be.

How do you and your partner do date night on a budget? I would love to hear your ideas of fun things you do with your significant other at home.
