Everyone loves a uni romance, but I seriously doubt your student loan budget will stretch to a table for two at the four seasons. Here are 5 budget date ideas for students…
#1 Catching Fireflies in the Summer
One of my favorite summer dates was catching fire flies in a mason jar and using it as a nightlight that night. Lots of time to talk and smile and just spend time together.

#2 Fall Scavenger Hunts
You can find free pintables on Pinterest for fall scavenger hunts and then go on a walk or hike and see who can complete the hunt first. Make a fun prize like the loser makes the winner dinner or the winner earns a foot rub or control of the TV remote of the day.

#3 Dinner at home
Plan a meal for the two of you. Dining in means you can make it as fancy or as casual as you'd like. If you're not a home chef opt for some take-out--pizza is always an affordable and tasty option!

#4 Wine Time
It’s always wine o’clock on date night, amirite? If you’re as far from a wine expert as I am, turn to the live chat option over at Wine.com. It has professionals available every day except Sunday to help you make the right selection that will also make your wallet happy.

#5 Entertainment
Snuggle up and watch a romantic movie. Grab the latest from your local Redbox or take this opportunity to Netflix and chill. Need movie ideas? Vanity Fair lists its picks for the 25 most romantic films of all time, and there are 50 more suggestions over at AMC. Or don’t bother with lists and just watch Casablanca at Amazon.com ($3.99).
