    Valentine's Day is just around the corner, check out these 27 cheap date ideas!  I’ve done every one of these cheap dates with my husband, some of them before he was my husband, and each one was special and fun.  Spending time together without spending a lot of money is rewarding, and you can learn a lot about each others  likes and dislikes.

    Also, check your local cities website for cheap date ideas in the "things to do" section and your local or neighborhood newspaper for two for one deals on admissions.
