Frugal Valentine's Day Ideas - Part 1

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching! Have you made your romantic plans yet?

This year, Joseph and I really wanted to go away for the weekend, but wouldn't you know, that hotel rates are much higher around V-day! So, we decided on a more frugal option.

We will be eating out this Saturday for lunch at a place where we spent our very first Valentine's Day together as a couple. If it is sunny/warm enough, we may walk around one of our old haunts and then head back to our house for a scrumptious chocolaty dessert. Should be a special time for me and my man!

Not feeling like spending a whole lot this year? Try out some of these frugal ways to spend your day:
  • Opt to go out for lunch instead of dinner. The prices will be much cheaper, and the restaurants will probably be less crowded!
  • Make a special homemade dinner that includes dessert and a special drink. (By candlelight, of course!)
  • If you are feeling more casual, have an indoor picnic right on your living room floor.
  • Stay home for dinner, but go out for dessert!
  • Make it a movie night, pop some of your favorite popcorn, and watch a couple romantic comedies.
What are your plans for this Valentine's Day?
