#GRDates: A Robinette’s Date for Under $22

Posted on by

#GRDates is a weekly series highlighting  fun & frugal dates in Grand Rapids and around West Michigan for $25 or less! Because I love West Michigan and want to experience everything it has to offer, but I do have to stick to a budget.

#GRDates Savvy Scenario:

This week, plan a date at Robinette’s Apple Haus & Gift Barn for any night or weekend this fall.

  1. Wine tasting is only $5 per couple.  Save your glass and get complimentary tasting on your next visit!
  2. Take the hayride or walk the corn maze for $6 each OR wander through the orchard for $12 worth of u-pick apples (I think that’s about a half peck.)
  3. Nibble on a pumpkin spice donut. Two of them will set you back a whole $1.30.  Take home a half-gallon of cider for $3.50.
  4. Stop and smell the roses apples.  FREE!  Seriously, though, sometimes it’s nice to slow down and enjoy the simple things!
  5. Oh! I almost forgot… if you’re inclined to visit Robinette’s gift shop, take the coupons from Grand Rapids Sudden Values!

Final cost $21.80
