What do you do for frugal dates? Our frugal date is usually a walk somewhere and than a cup of coffee. Coffee in our house is a big deal. It must be good coffee and not diner coffee. Each of the walks below is paired with a nice coffee shop.
Some of our favorite spots for walks are:
Elk Neck State Park – Turkey Point Light House is a nice, easy walk. For coffee and window shopping we go to North East. Beans, Leaves, etc., at 33 S. Main St., offers great coffee and outdoor tables in appropriate weather.
Fair Hill Natural Resources area – We have several trails that we go on but mostly stick to the area with the covered bridge. I have yet to find a coffee shop with great coffee close enough to Fair Hill to pair for the walk. We usually go home for an excellent and ultra-cheap brew.
Newark Main Street – I do like to walk on Main Street and window shop but if I buy anything, than it isn’t a frugal date. There are several coffee shops on Main St. and I guess you can pick your own.
Glasgow Park – This has a 2.6 mile walking trail but DH calls it “a forced march”. After the “forced march” we go to the Whereabouts Café in the People’s Plaza. They have excellent coffee, great food and a friendly staff that kiss us when we come in (only because one of them is our daughter!).
Walks around our neighborhood – We used to live in a development but now we live next to a 150 acre corn field with a tractor road. We take the dog for a walk here with us. Again, after a run after a dog who runs everywhere but to us, we catch our breath at home with the best brew there is.
