February is here and that can only mean one thing for lovebirds across the country… Valentine’s Day is near!

A major problem with Valentine’s Day is that people can get so caught up in the hype that they make bad decisions with their money. But I’m here to tell you, that you don’t have to spend tons of money on Valentine’s Day to show your loved ones that you care.

Here are a few clever tips for making Valentine’s Day special without breaking the bank:

Groupon

If you don’t know about Groupon, you are missing an opportunity to save money on the activities and restaurants you already love and even experience new ones. Groupon offers a host of coupons and discounts exclusively for Valentine’s Day, as well as everyday discounts.

 

Be Creative

Valentine’s Day is about spending time with those you love, not spending tons of money. A great way to cut back on spending is to use your creativity. This can be as simple as creating a hand-
made card, to going on a romantic walk if the weather permits, or to even having a candlelit dinner at home and cooking your loved one’s favorite dish at home instead of eating out. Valentine’s Day is only as expensive as you make it.

 

Deliver Your Own Flowers

Guys, if you’re buying flowers, a great way to save money is by going to your local farmer’s market or grocery store, buying flowers, and delivering them yourself. Delivering the flowers yourself adds a romantic touch that your date will love. Chivalry isn’t dead, so prove it.
