Date Ideas

Discount Movie Tuesdays
See a movie without breaking the bank when you use these great movie theater discounts. Megaplex and Cinemark theaters offer $5 movie tickets every Tuesday. AMC also offers discount tickets on Tuesdays, but you’ll need to make a free Stubs Insider account and then use your Stubs Insider number to redeem your $5.00 Tuesday tickets.

Library Lovin’
Browse the stacks at your local library, and let the books, movies, and music you wander past spark conversations. Check out a few movies to take home with you for a future movie marathon, and don’t forget to check the library’s calendar for upcoming concerts, film screenings, or author readings for future cheap dates.

Get Outdoors 
Go on a hike together! Battle Creek Falls is a beautiful hike in Pleasant Grove that’s just over 1 mile long. The Stewart Falls trail, just off the Alpine Loop, and the Grotto Falls Trail in Payson Canyon are also fun options if you’re in Utah County. If you’re in Salt Lake County, buy a box of doughnuts and have a doughnut picnic along the popular Donut Falls trail up Big Cottonwood Canyon.

Classic Dinner Date
For a simple and romantic dinner date make one of Jamie Oliver’s quick and easy recipes. Most of his recipes only take a few minutes to prepare and many use five ingredients or less. I recommend starting with Jamie’s Flaky Pastry Pesto Chicken. It’s delicious, and your sweetheart will definitely be impressed.
