Cheap date ideas in Singapore

Dating can be pretty expensive; A simple cafe meal and a movie ticket on a weekend can easily cost $37 per pax. I’m going to #spillthetea on how you can go on fun dates without breaking the bank!

💖#1 Picnic at Botanical Garden

A picnic can be costly if you’re to buy pre-made dishes for the picnic. One way to save cost is to DIY!

On this picnic date, we made ourselves some Mentaiko pasta- Mentaiko from Kuriya Japanese Market, and the rest of the ingredients from NTUC Fairprice.

Cost 💸: $11.50/pax

💖#2 Museum Hopping

If you’re a Singaporean or Singaporean PR, most galleries and exhibitions are free!!! Our favourite museum is the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) which features cool and artsy exhibitions. If you are into heritage and culture, go to Asian Civilisations Museum.

Cost 💸: FREE

💖#3 Baking

This is perfect for stay-home dates. We love to host and bake for our friends. And since we bake so often, it really helps to keep costs really low!

If you are new to this, try picking simple bakes, to begin with. One of my favourite quick and easy bakes is Basque Burnt Cheesecake in an air fryer.

Cost 💸: $8pax ~ or even lesser depending on the recipe

💖#4 BONUS: Self-Photo Booth

Like every other couple around, we jump on the bandwagon to get our photographs taken at the self-photo booth.

We got ours taken at Photopia (they have many outlets in Singapore) because we had a voucher discount. Over at Photopia, you can choose 1 or 2 backdrops of your choice.

Tip: The studio will send us digital files, so we went for the beige background and colour edited to black&white on our phone. That way we have 2 varieties of images.

There are many other studios like Photobtyes, Dollop and Fotomat.

Cost 💸: $10/pax
