Searching for a way to create a memorable Valentine’s Day with your valentine while working with a budget? This year don’t overspend on expensive presents and fancy dinners, keep your spending under control with some of Money MindEd’s less expensive Valentine’s Day ideas.
Dinner Date: If you feel that treating your valentine to the romantic dinner for two is a necessity for the holiday, then utilize coupon sites like Groupon and Living Social. Try searching for a deal to a restaurant you both have not tried. Taking advantage of theses sites will allow you to treat your valentine to a nice meal without the outrageous bill.
Movie Night: Create a romantic night at the movies in the comfort of your own home. Rent a classic romantic movie or a romantic comedy for just $1.00 at Redbox, prepare a snack to enjoy such as chocolate covered strawberries, and spend a relaxing night in.
You Be the Chef: Prepare a fancy dinner date at home in order to enjoy a romantic dinner for two without being crushed in a room full of people. Play to the theme by adding a restaurant ambiance to your home. If you are not much of a cook check out your grocery store for a take home meal or try cooking together, regardless your valentine will be impressed by the thoughtful and romantic gesture.
Spend The Day Together: The purpose of Valentines Day is to spend time with your valentine, so why not make a day out of it. Spend the day enjoying a fun activity together such as going on a hike, riding bikes at a park or by the beach, or packing a picnic to take to a favorite spot and ending the day by watching the sunset. If you are working with a larger budget you can spend a fun day together at the zoo, a museum, or the aquarium.
