Notable Notes: 

This article from StyleCaster brings us 31 FREE date ideas. What the Internet has to say: 

We like tip #8, which is enjoying a beach day - this can be done inexpensively and even in land-locked areas by finding a nearby lake with a bit of nice shoreline!
Tip #13 recommends visiting an open house, which we definitely think is a fun way to spend an afternoon. Jill has taken this a step further to recommend boat and RV show rooms :)
We agree with tip #25 which recommends playing old school video games - even those least interested in video games can get on board with pacman!!
One of our favorite ideas was #5 which is geocaching - the adult (but still child friendly) version of a treasure hunt! PLUS this is how Travis proposed to Jen!! (aww ;))
We don't recommend #15 Messy Twister - unless chocolate is involved.What Jen and Jill have to say:

This article from The Krazy Coupon Lady lists 23 cheap and free date ideas. What the Internet has to say:

 We like that this article listed frugal date ideas in addition to free date ideas - there should be money in the budget to go out, but we certainly do not always need to spend top dollar! 
#5 cook together - we agree that this can be a great way to bond, create a new experience, and work side by side.
We like idea #14 which gives ideas on getting cheap tickets to local sporting events. Because there's so much baseball (Plus minor leagues!)
We love that this article recommends playing together, Tip #21 suggests playing outside - we like frisbee, badmitton, volleyball, or simply playing 'catch'!
 Check out tip #4 which recommends groupon for purchasing couples massages - this is a great way for a luxury date on a budget!
#16 go to a 'you-pick' farm - look into farms in your area allowing you to pick and pay for what you have harvested. This is a nice "two for one" date in that you can enjoy time at the farm, AND go home and make something with your bounty!What Jen and Jill have to say:

Thanks so much Jenna for sharing your frugal tips! We love to learn new ways to save on gym costs - and what a great date idea to do a yoga class with your significant other!

General Rules to Live by and Other frugal date ideas:
Invest in something small that will provide multiple enjoyable and memorable dates (i.e. small motorized raft for a summer-times worth of boating and picnics!)
Explore yard sales and thrift stores together, with a set spending limit in mind
Work on a project together, or volunteer together
Combine something you have to do with your partner. Running, Don’t do something free that will cause you to spend money elsewhere (ie. taking a walk and ending up buying a $4 coffee, just bring your own.)
