Dating

Creative cheap ways to date your spouse, leaving the kids at home.
You may have time to get away but how to afford a night on the town and someone to watch your kids?  A good friend suggested that our families start a babysitting exchange.  It has worked out great. They watch our son for a night and then we exchange and watch their son for a night.  So this takes care of the kids, now on to the next part, what to do that is fun and reasonably priced.  Here is an idea that my husband and I used recently.
When doing our grocery shopping at Costco we periodically buy movie tickets.  They are cheaper then paying at the box office and don't have any limitations on when you can use them.  When you get up the counter to purchase your tickets it feels like they are free because no cash is exchanged.  Rubios fish taco's are on the dinner menu, two are less then five dollars total and very filling.  The next stop is Walmart to buy one dollar movie snacks and then on to the theater.  Parkway Plaza is the place to find all of these places in one location.
It was a great night out and very reasonably priced.  Looking forward to many more fun nights out with my hubby. 
Let me know of other creative date nights that you have invented.
