Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Here are some ways to celebrate with your special someone without spending a small fortune.
Instead of going out on February 14, celebrate your special union on a different day. This way you won’t be fighting the crowds and can take advantage of daily specials and happy hours.
For the same reasons as above, a lunch date may be a better idea than dinner. If you go around 1:30 or 2 pm, right after the lunch rush, you’re more likely to have some alone time with your honey. You’ll also be able to take your time instead of rushing.
If you’re getting a gift for your loved one, start stalking the daily deal sites like Woot, Groupon and Living Social. You still have plenty of time to find a great gift at a low price.
Pack a picnic lunch and take a romantic walk in the park instead of going out to eat. You’ll save money and win points for being romantic.
If you don’t want to go out, plan a romantic dinner at home. Cook a nice meal that isn’t a regular dish, setup candles and play your favorite music. People often forget the most important thing is enjoying time with your sweetheart, no matter where you are.

Around Valentine’s Day, flowers and candy get incredibly expensive. Instead of picking them up before or on the day, do it the day after when everything is heavily discounted.
