10 dates for $10 (or less)

As it happens, Ben and I are kind of broke. Transitioning into our first apartment when my new contract doesn't start until August and his job hunting now that summer classes are over has been tough. We budget as best we can so that we can still go out and enjoy ourselves, utlizing coupons and gift cards as much as possible. With this in mind, I can't help but think that we are not the only newlywed couple who have to pinch our pennies for our dates, so I've come up with a list of 10 dates in KC for $10 (or less).

1. Boulevard Brewery tours. Who wouldn't?
2. The City Market. Best on Saturday mornings you can go walk around, grab some dirt cheap produce, coffee, or baked goods, and listen to live music.
3. First Fridays at the Crossroads. Tons of food, art, and music all for your taking.
4. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
5. The Roasterie. A tour for the coffee lovers.
6. Murray's Homemade Ice Creams in Westport. Cash only!
7. Great for couples or families, if you watch specials you can grab tickets to the KC Zoo for cheap or free!
8. How about a $5 movie on Independence Square at the Pharaoh? Quite the deal before 6:00p!
9. The Plaza is a great place to walk around, see the fountain, and grab a coffee or snack.
10. Crown Center WeekEnder is also a cool, free event. Outdoor movies & live music on Friday nights.
