Although I’m married, one of my favorite things to do is to “date” my husband. We always have a good time, whether we’ve got money or not. These days, it’s more often “not,” which is just fine. As long as we’ve got our couple time, we’re good to go.

If you’re broke you can still have a pretty fun date, too. Here are a five fun dates that will cost you $5 or less.

Raid a convenience store and go to the park. My husband and I love to try all those new (though admittedly questionable) treats and foods that convenience stores and gas stations have. They’re always interesting, to say the least, and super cheap, too. We get two things each plus a soda to split for less than five bucks. Then we take it to a park to eat, swing, read, whatever. Sometimes my hubby brings his fishing equipment—and since he’s already got everything he needs, he just grabs a few worms from the yard and he’s set—while I wrinkle my nose at him and read. Even that’s fun on a beautiful day.

Get creative.  Swing by the library for some scary stories or romantic literature; better yet, write sexy poems for each other and read them aloud. Draw caricatures of one another, or paint each other’s faces. Trace each other on butcher paper. Make a mural of your relationship. Break out the crayons and color.

Browse an adult toy store together. This can be so much fun—especially if you think everything on earth is funny. You can scope out the equipment that you would never use and wonder what others see in it—or start making a Christmas wish list. Who knew that there were so many videos dedicated to hairy people—or there was such a thing as honey dust? If you feel the need to really spend something, there’s usually condoms, lube samples, and small gag gifts for a buck or two.

Browse a KIDDIE store. Browse any store, for that matter, if you’re not into adult toys (or they’re unfortunately illegal in your state). Maybe you can find some silly putty, a yo-yo, or some jacks to play with—all come very cheaply and offer hours of entertainment. Go to the grocery store and grab some ice cream or wine coolers and eat/drink them on the hood of your car like the good ol’ days.

Stay in. Stay-in dates are the best, especially if you can get a great babysitter. Rent a $1 movie from Redbox, buy a two-liter of Coke and use your own homemade popcorn. Cuddle and listen to the rain. Just enjoy one another’s company, and remember that you don’t have to be expensively entertained to have fun.
