Alright guys you know I love you all haha so I am going to ask you for some advice. I need unique ideas for stuff my boyfriend and I can do that won't cost to much I mean we already go on picnics, work out together (means walking the dog for a mile *troll face*) go for walks in parks, shoot photography together and just try to be as active as possible. Do you guys have any ideas for something special we could do?

    The world's biggest treasure hunt :) A simple GPS device is pretty cheap one time cost and there are over a million caches to be found worldwide.

    public tennis courts, or badminton in your own back yard..(or a park if you are in an apartment). Volleyball league that is cheap?? none of these require much equipment, but burn lots of energy.

    My husband and I used to go walk around the canal in our city. Our first date was a "drive in" date where we took a laptop out in the yard on a nice evening and watched a movie :) We also go camping - it's pretty cheap if you have the stuff. We also day hike and take mini vacations - day trips are awesome, and it's really just the cost of gas.

    If you already own bikes, check out some new trails or city paths you haven't explored. My husband and I have done that a lot this year, and its a great way to hang out together and be active at the same time. Sometimes we pack lunch and picnic along the way, and if its a city ride, we'll find some inexpensive little bar where we can stop for lunch.

    I don't know where you are from but around here there is the patch.com for every town that lists ALL the local events, free concerts, farmer's markets, fairs.... We find LOTS of cheap things to do on there.

    We do make your own pizza night with RedBox or Netflix....

    Make your own drinks in a Camelback and walk the city or beach....

    Massage for Dummies and some Bath & Body Works oil!

    Small road trips, pack a cooler so you don't have to eat out, explore a new town within an hour from you.

    The library usually has passes for museums too you can take out...

    Watch some free movie on demand, maybe make a cheap dinner with it too.

    A really nice italian meal for about $8, and super easy to make:

    $3 of Gnocchi
    $3 of (premium) vodka sauce
    $2 loaf of bread.

    Throw bread in oven for about 10 min, boil gnocchi till it floats to the top. Have vodka sauce heating on another stove top, maybe mix in some mozzerella. Take out gnocchi, mix in sauce, slice bread, great little dinner.


    Also if you have one in your state, going out to Melting Pot for dessert is a really nice treat. Its $14 for two people, and you get a whole pot of chocolate, and a lot of dippers

    Pick up one of those city magazines that has free events listed. Theres usually a wide range of things available. I personally love a good symphony night on the lawn. My town does those. Or Movies under the stars. Yeah, theres a ton of people there but if you go early you can stake out a nice place. People go all out with their meals, candle, etc... Museums!, Art Shows. Sign up for a class together. Cooking classes are great - you can learn a skill and have a meal at the same time.
