1. Hike trails, ride bikes, go fishing, walk through the woods, - just get out and get some exercise while enjoying the outdoors.
2. Camping - if it's warm enough where you are, or you could be planning ahead, camping is a great way to get back to a simple life for a few days...sitting by the fire, cooking on a camp stove or over the fire (bring oven mitts), maybe by a beach, lake, or mountain stream.
3. Picnics - it can be simple sandwiches and snacks, or order takeout before hand. Bring a string of battery-operated LED lights in a mason jar for mood lighting if it's dusk/evening.
4. Stargazing - evenings will be warmer soon. Just head to a park or field or rooftop and lay flat on a blanket with some soothing music. It's very relaxing.
5. Eat cheap - why not go out for just appetizers or dessert with a beverage? You don't have to order the entire meal out. Make it dessert after a movie, or appetizers before heading out somewhere else.
6. Indoor fun works, especially if it's still too cold out - bowling, ice or roller skating, indoor swimming at a YMCA or other gym. Or what about hitting an arcade to bring back memories?
7. Mini Golf - who doesn't end up having fun at mini golf?
8. If it's not a date, bring a kid to play ball or frisbee at a park or field.
9. Attend an event - many cities/towns offer free nights at museums, or free local concerts, as well as other downtown events. Maybe there's an inexpensive class offered nearby?
10. Volunteer somewhere together. There's so many needs out there. You could help at a food pantry, organizing at a clothing drive, habitat for humanity does projects for those in need, and local churches regularly have opportunities to volunteer in the community.
Whatever you choose, do something different and it doesn't have to cost a lot of money to do it. Just be creative.

I didn't even mention attending all the local baseball, soccer, football, and basketball games.
