Hi! Me and my boyfriend are looking to celebrate our 2 year anniversary, and were looking for some cheap date ideas. We are not in the best financial state right now since we are both full time students, but we didn’t celebrate our first anniversary because we also didn’t have much money. Due to this I would really like to celebrate this year! We live around metro Detroit for some context. Any ideas are appreciated!

I’ve always liked spending extra on fancy ingredients and making a dinner date at home.
Plus…
My food at home usually tastes better than restaurants. The only downside is doing the dishes
Picnic at the park or a nice hiking trail. Are you in a big city? A lot of cities have cool museums and some are free on certain days or free in general. Picnic and hike, and movie night at home?
When my husband and I were first married, we would have “date night in.” My husband would turn the radio on to a soft music station. We would cook, then eat dinner by candlelight. After dinner, we would slow dance to the music in the living room. Finally, we’d cuddle together with pillows and blankets in the living room and watch old movies.
Go walk and explore an area you always “mean to” or that you chalk up to being too touristy (just be a tourist for a day!). Pack a picnic and eat your meal from a good vantage point. Buy ingredients and cook a meal at home together. Print and frame a picture of you two for a gift.
