Picnics are free. Especially if you Yogi Bear yourself the food.

I like this idea except it's probably unwise to accept food from a stranger on a first date

Women tend to want to meet at least initially where there are lots of other people around

You can have a picnic in a park on a weekend. They don't have to be somewhere secluded.
