Hop and your S.O. into the car and drive to the end of a popular street. Flip a coin to decide whether to go left or right on every intersection until you reach a satisfying date location that's easy on the wallet.

Isn't that what winter is for?
Take advantage of the snowy weather and take your date to scenic mountainous locations like Faraya or Kfardebian to ski and mess around in the snow. Bring out your child-within and play your day away with your date. If you weigh your options, skiing can cost you 20-30$ per person.

If it's clear outside, you can take your bikes out and ride around your area, and maybe decide where to go and what to do next while you're strolling around.
If you don't have bikes but the idea tempts you, then renting a couple of them is your best and cheapest option. Bike rental services in Lebanon can charge as low as 5,000 LBP/hour.
#4 Have a V-Day photoshoot

Dinner at a nice restaurant; classic Valentine's Day date plan. You don't have to pay 200$ for a nightly meal in a lavish restaurant to have a good meal and a good time.
Lebanese cuisine is the best cuisine in the world (unbiased opinion) and there's a lot of that here! Lebanese cuisine or otherwise , do some research in your area to find the optimal dining place that saves you the priciness of fancy and offers you and your lovebird an appetizing, memorable night.
#6 A V-Day scavenger hunt

A scavenger hunt is a fun and highly-customizable game that you can transform into your own special Valentine's Day activity.
Get creative with what you include in the hunt; make the end-prize a trip to a romantic getaway , for example. A just-the-two-of-us daytime picnic with cloud-watching would do if you're on a budget, or if it's a clear night, stargazing would make for a great romantic activity.
#7 Take a hike together
