You don't have to go all out and be extravagant with your significant other all the time in order to have a memorable experience; sometimes the little things truly counts for a lot, as long as you give it to your partner with love.

You can even have a blast with dates under ten dollars! If you find this hard to believe, try out these ideas for a truly memorable (not to mention affordable) date.

You can go unconventional on your date and sign up for volunteer work; this allows you to give back to your community, and you really get to spend quality time with each other while you help other people out.

Charity can bring out the best side in a person, and you may just find qualities in your partner, which can increase your love for him or her even more. Depending on your inclinations, you can sign up for blood donation, feed animals in a local shelter, or prepare meals at a soup kitchen.

You can also go out of the box, but in a rather naughty way, by renting adult videos and watch it with your partner. If your partner isn't too keen on this, try explaining to him or her that watching adult videos is actually something that the both of you actually haven't tried out as yet, and it wouldn't hurt to do it now. Besides, adult videos may rekindle an unexpected intimate moment that is surely a boost to your romantic life together.

Go out and exercise together. This is a no-brainer; you can take a jog around the neighborhood every morning, or you can rent a video and work it out in your own living room.

Enough exercise preps you up for an active day, and ensures that you stay energetic up to bedtime. Since mail-order exercise videos can be quite pricey, you can rent or borrow them just to stay within the set budget limit. If you already own a copy, then you won't have to spend a single cent.

Go to the park and be carefree - fly a kite. Yes, even at your age, you still have the right to be childlike and throw away everything in careless abandon. You can frolic about in the park, or sit down at a picnic mat and enjoy a homemade snack. Be prepared to spend the afternoon in endless conversation with someone you love, but bring along a book or two just in case.

If these tips may sound a little like your being a tightwad with dates, be sure to cut the impression by going on a fancy date with your hubby on occasion.

The purpose of these is to maintain the connection with consistent periods of quality time with each other, time to interact and talk about the things that matter the most. So whether you're poring over board game instructions, rearranging the furniture in your apartment, or checking out the latest releases at the video store, make every moment count - your partner will surely appreciate the effort.
