Planning the perfect cheap date.
Spending time with your partner is important even when money is tight. The best dates can be some of the cheapest most frugal ideas. My top 5 frugal date suggestions will run you $10 or less. Homemade picnic in the park, coffee and conversation on the patio, a nice long walk in the park (we walk our local river front), dinner or dessert after the kids have gone to bed or appetizers and a movie.
Any of these top five frugal date ideas work in our house. As a house full of littles getting away for date time doesn’t always work. So planning some alone time after the kids have gone down for a nap or working a nice adult dinner in after bedtime and books is great.

Finding time to date.
If finding time and scheduling is your dating dilemma. Schedule it in. Mark it on the calendar. Plan a babysitting exchange with friends. Or have a cuddle and coffee on the couch after the kids have gone to bed.
Budgeting basics, debt and dating.
Some of the best dates involve quality time, conversation, coffee and goal setting. If money is tight why not plan a budgeting meeting over coffee and make it a date. Set your budget, converse about your goals, catch up, make plans and enjoy some kid free time.
