Want to save up after Christmas? Try these low-cost dates from home!

If you've been living your best life in this festive season, then you're not alone. As we begin to recover from Christmas, we've been thinking about how much we've gone out and enjoyed ourselves — caught up with friends we haven't seen in ages, dined out for dinner and drinks, indulged in a fancy date night or two (dozen).

Now that Christmas draws to a close though, our purses are suddenly looking a little bruised and battered by the activities of the last month or two, so we want to try have a low key life for the next few weekends.
