A date can burn a hole in your pocket and, as Statista details below, in some cities, the cost of a romantic evening is absolutely extortionate. If you meet someone from Switzerland on holidays and subsequently visit them with the intention of paying for dinner and drinks, you better start saving. A "cheap date" in Zurich costs around $200. That's according to Deutsche Bank's 8th annual survey of global prices and living standards. You will find more infographics at Statista In the analysis, a cheap date is defined as cab rides, dinner/lunch for two at a pub or diner, soft drinks, two movie tickets and a couple of beers. Some may disagree with Deutsche Bank's definition that such a date is actually "cheap". Nevertheless, Oslo, which is well known for its high prices, comes in second with costs adding up to $164. Copenhagen comes third with a date costing around $158 on average. Things are cheaper in Cairo and Bangalore where a romantic evening would only cost around $42. Poster Comment: I have not been to the movies since 2011 when I took my grand nieces and nephews to some matinees. I do not drink beer and my town is so small that we no longer have a taxi. I am saving a ton of money.

You don't drink beer? Are you a commie?
I don't drink coffee either. No. I am not a Mormon. I don't eat meat. The last time I ate meat I paid 19 cents for a pound of chicken wings.
I'll bet you love avocados. Good luck getting one now.

I eat avocados every day. The ban was lifted. So I can buy more.
