Treat Your Valentine - On A Budget!


 
Valentine’s Day 2015 netted a whopping 18.9 BILLION dollars! Whether you think that’s crazy or not, odds are you probably contributed to a bit of that spend in one way or another.  Did you treat your loved one, your best friend, your dog, or yourself last year?  If the answer is yes, and you are planning on doing something special again this year consider these ideas to treat your valentine without breaking the bank:

·         Giving flowers?  Not surprising, the largest chunk of change spent on Valentine’s Day is on flowers.  Get the most value from the petals you choose by selecting a less popular bloom.  Roses are beautiful, but choosing a more unusual but still beautiful flower on Valentine ’s Day can save you big.  Make sure you inspect whichever flowers you choose for stale or less than energized petals to get the most out of the bouquet you give after the holiday passes.
 
·         Cook Your Fancy Feast At Home – One of the biggest areas that you can save not only on Valentine’s Day, but every other weekend too is as easy as getting creative in the kitchen.  Make your Valentine’s favorite meal together and enjoy a meal together in the comfort of your own home.  Switch it up from any other dinner by taking your feast to the living room or another room out of the ordinary to make the evening feel more special!

·         Pampering your pooch? Try homemade treats instead!  Don’t forget your furry family members this Valentine’s day!  If you want to show your family pet some love on a budget this Valentine’s Day, try some homemade treats in their favorite flavor.
