It’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow, do you know what you are going to get your sweet heart for Valentine’s Day? My last two blogs have been for the kids and Valentine’s Day, so today this is for the adults. Do you really have to spend a lot of money on Valentine’s Day? I would say no! I have a much cheaper way to say I love you on Valentine’s Day. When I heard what the average person spends on Valentine’s Day, I almost died. The average person spends between $75 to $150 dollars on Valentine’s Day. Are you nuts, no way am I spending that much money. As my husband would say just another holiday that the stores rip you off and expect you to fork out a bundle of money. So here is some of my tips on saving for Valentine’s Day.
Flowers, Flowers, flowers! Yes, flowers are nice but very expensive. This is the time of the year when the florist shops make a killing. They jack up the prices because they know they got you. Don’t fall for this trick, there is a cheaper alternative. If you have to buy flowers go to your local Walmart of another grocery store and buy your flowers there. You can get a nice bouquet of flowers for under $15.oo dollars. Make your own card and personalize it, then deliver the flowers yourself to save a bundle of money.
Do you take your sweet heart out to eat for Valentine’s Day? Get ready to spend over $50.00. This is nuts! I go to the store and buy all the ingredients for a nice dinner and I make a nice candle light dinner for my husband. I can make this dinner for less than half the price of a dinner out at a restaurant. Now you don’t have to dress up and worry about reservations.
Do you take your sweet heart out to a movie? Movies are expensive. Two people and popcorn can cost you over $40.00 dollars. If you have cable of Netflix, watch a movie at home after your special dinner at home. Now you can decide whatever movie you like and watch. like. No going out and waiting in line.
Valentine’s Day Cards, don’t get me going on this one! This is a waste of money. I can tell my husband in many other ways that I love him very deeply. A Valentine’s Day Card can cost you over $5.00 dollars. Cards are a waste of money. Make your own cards and save the money.
My husband and I decided many years ago to stop buying expensive flowers, cards, going out to eat, and doing the movie thing for Valentine’s Day. Spending time together is the most important thing to do on Valentine’s Day. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to be able to say I love you on Valentine’s Day. Happy Valentine’s Day from Suzie Homemaker.
