There usually lots of free activities going on around town. Immerse yourself in the local culture. Last Friday Brian and I decided to check out the Final Fridays art crawl. As the name suggests, the event happens monthly on the last Friday of every month. Many art galleries and craft shops participate throughout Wichita. For a sense of what it's like,

Besides Final Fridays, there are a plethora of events in Wichita. There's usually something for everyone. Your town probably has a calendar of events similar to
this one. There will usually be several events that are free to the public throughout the month. Invite your partner to check out some of these events for a fun day or night of cultural enrichment.

Here's another cheap date idea. Stay home for movie night. With
Netflix
you don't even have to go to the video stores anymore. You can just have the movies sent directly to you.


Brian and I really enjoy this a lot. We even used to take our featherbed to the family room so we could lay in front of the big TV all night. Anyway, this is a great low-cost date idea. Can be romantic too, depending on what movie you are watching and how you set the mood.

Having a picnic is perhaps one of the most basic low cost date ideas. The afternoons in the fall is a great time to do this because it's not so hot outside. With the changing colors of the foliage, the scenery is beautiful and can be very romantic also.
You can make sandwiches or buy pre-made food and snacks. We like to bring sparkling red grape or sparkling apple cider. It's entirely up to you on what you want to bring. The idea here is to spend quality time with your loved one in a nice, peaceful setting at little to no cost. Select a secluded spot or, at least, a quiet one. Enjoy your time together.
