Creative Date #7 From my book entitled 101 Creative Dates: ideas, tips, and personal experience from the life of a hopeless romantic (book link at the bottom)

Free Food Date

Something you could do on a Saturday afternoon is what I refer to as the “Free Food Date”. Basically you drive around to all the stores you know give out free samples. Yeah, it’s simple, but it’s fun, it’s free, and you can bring some competition into the day; make a game out of it and see who can get the most freebies.

A great store to do this at is Costco. And don’t just make one round; go around again and get seconds. If the sample worker gives you a funny look, or asks “Haven’t you gotten one already?” say yes—there’s no need to lie, it just makes it funnier if they’re weirded out. Maybe even throw an accent in there.

There are probably other places that give out free food samples, and if you know about them you could go there as well. And if it just so happens to be your birthday, there are several places where you can go and they will give you free food.

What you need for this date:

You don’t need anything special for this idea, just a few locations in mind, then drive over and feast on the free food.

My commentary on this date:

Every time I’m in Costco I think this would be fun to do for a date. I mean, I enjoy doing it alone or with friends and family, so why not with a girl? It would be a totally free date, not to mention it could potentially be really funny, depending on who is working the sample stands, and how many times you try to get freebies from each stand.
