28 Cheap Date Night Ideas For Country Folk

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner so I wanted to share a list of date night ideas you can do on the cheap! We don’t exactly live near “the city” and with a little one at home now, we don’t get out as much as we used to. So I’m always looking for cheap or even at-home date night ideas we can do in our neck of the woods.

I’ve compiled a list of 28 Cheap Date Night Ideas for y’all to try! I’m calling it a round-up for “country folk” because most of it involves either dates at home, with cows, fire, sweet tea or hunting. I don’t know if that’s pure country but it’s definitely not city dates! 😉

28 Cheap Date Night Ideas For Country Folk
