Here in Erie, there are plenty of options for a romantic night out that won’t break the bank.  Here are seven cheap and fun ideas for a memorable date night on a budget.

Think about what our area would be like if we didn’t have any small businesses. Get out and SHOP SMALL…not just on Small Business Saturday (this year it’s November 28) but EVERY DAY.

Erie County is filled with unique shops, plazas and tucked away retail gems. In addition to being open for in-person visits, many of them offer online shopping, call-in service and curbside pickup.

Being stuck indoors and sheltering in place really bums us out.  It’s especially hard for those die-hard shoppers who love the thrill of the hunt in finding that great bargain.
