Date nights can happen at home.

Have the kids eat and go to bed, then serve a late dinner for two.

Rent a movie or not . . .

Of course both of us are divorced, so we get kid-free weekends every other weekend . . .

We’ve been trading babysitting with another couple for about 4 months and it’s great…. so long as you make the time to do it.

Also, we live near a beach, so dinner on the beach is always a good pick and inexpensive scenery.

For going out a cheaper way is to just split apps and get drinks instead of full dinners. Will save money and more social since you pick at multiple apps.

So . . . your child is well-behaved? Likely story . . .

Just kidding, couldn’t resist.

We rarely barter babysitting, since we have one child, who is quite well-behaved, and all those around us have two or three. A great deal for our neighbors, not so great for us, since we are not used to having so many kids. Most of our dates, as a result, are “date afternoons”. We save money by meeting for lunch (which is less expensive than dinner), going to local art fairs and gallery walks, or seeing a cheap matinee.

Bartering babysitting is the way to go. We had a neighbor that occasionally used our car in exchange for babysitting. We really trusted her and our kid loved her. We both felt like we got the better end of the deal on that one.
