Summer is such a fun time to have date nights and their are so many options of things to do. Here are 20 affordable summer date ideas that won’t break the bank! Be sure to check your local paper or website for fun activities in your area. In the summer, lots of towns have fun free events.

2. Play mini golf (you can normally find coupons in the paper or online)

3. Check your local summer events, sometimes they offer free movies in the park, etc

4. Check online for free concerts in your area. Maybe at nice pizza place or outdoor restaurant and enjoy.

5. Outdoor picnic – you each choose your favorite snacks

6. Volunteer at a local pet shelter

7. Go Bowling. Lots of bowling alleys have dollar fun nights!

8. Play arcade games like your kids again

9. Go to the zoo

10. Go on an ice cream date

11. POOL DAY!! (my favorite, complete with a sonic run)

12. Water gun fight

13. Check out local food trucks

14. Backyard camp out

15. Go roller blading together

16. Wii Game Competition

  • The game day dip that NEVER makes it to halftime. 🏈👀

This easy layered chili dip is creamy, cheesy, loaded with flavor, and SO easy to throw together for a football watch party. It’s the kind of game day appetizer everyone keeps coming back to—and then someone inevitably asks you for the recipe. 😂

SAVE this for your next football party, game day gathering, tailgate, or Sunday football spread!

And SEND this to the person who needs to bring the dip. 👏
