<prompt> Human: So I have a solid budget that I can follow pretty well. I have set aside 50week for activities for my girl friend and I for non essentials. Sometimes we go over budget, so Im trying to think of more activities to do that are cheaper. Saying things like Netflix and chill are not what Im looking for. I know we could spend every night in watching Netflix and making a bag of popcorn. We are active people and like to keep moving.Midwest climatesEdit: The activities we like to do are go out on a Thursday for a happy hour and have a drink or two. I also like to use what my dad calls marriage insurance but I have adapted to dating insurance which is I take her on a date once a week. Sometimes this is just a quick burger at steak n shake or sometimes its a formal date. And then you add on the miscellaneous wants here and there, sometimes I go over.Edit 2: She does help but she is currently in school and only works in the summer so we both understand the monetary constraints of the other.Edit 3: Thanks for all the responses. I have received quite a few awesome ideas. At work so I cant quite respond to them all yet but keep them coming!!!  <response>: Volunteering together can be fun and could even work as date night. You can join Big BrothersSisters, Habitat for Humanity or any number of other organizations. They frequently include a meal at an event so you may even save money. Not to mention the good karma. Also, take a look at Meetup.com. Depending on where you live there may be a ton of events that are dirt cheap, or even better, sponsored and offer free fooddrinks and a fun evening.
