    Often you can find country dancing either at a country-themed bar in your city or just on the outskirts of “suburbia.” Alternatively to country dancing, there’s also partner dancing. With a little Facebook event search or Googling, cheap swing or partner dance lessons aren’t too hard to locate either. These dates only cost $10 to simply cover the venue cost.
  • Make smores with a fire:

    Unfortunately “dollar” theatres aren’t usually a dollar these days. But they’re cheaper than the $8-12 per ticket range at the normal theatre! You should be able to get in for under $10 no problem! This is a super fun alternative to “RedBox”-ing or streaming.
    If you can’t find a discount theatre nearby, check out discounted nights at regular theatres. Do your homework, save some $$$’s.
  • Attend an outdoor concert 
    Thank you, hipsters, for making this date idea under $10 popular! Many cities will host annual concerts or concert series. Check local malls, parks, and city websites for outdoor concerts near you. Experience either your local music bands or get deeply discounted with a big artist brought to town. Sometimes concerts in the park may require a low-cost admission, sometimes they’re free! If they are the latter, spend the $10 on the food trucks often floating nearby.
