One day out of the year, the sale of heart shaped boxes of chocolates and big red balloons fly off of the shelves. This year, Valentine's Day fell on a very inconvenient day of the week, Wednesday.
While many people celebrate Valentine's Day with expensive gifts and dinners, it is also possible to enjoy it on a $20 budget.
My advice to those of you whose pockets are a little challenged at the moment is to make things personal. Below I have enclosed my top three cheap things to do for you and your valentine:
1. Write him or her a poem. Nothing says love and romance like a sweet heartfelt poem. Total Cost: Nothing! (I'm sure the average person has pen and paper at his or her house).
2. Make him or her dinner. This shows a person's creativity, as well as selflessness. For some quick Valentine's Day recipes log on to allrecipes.com. Cost should definintely be under $20 for the ingredients needed to make one main course.
3. Give him or her an at home spa day. Volunteer your services to your mate by providing him or her with a manicure, pedicure, and body massage. Total cost: Under $20 ( a nail clip, nail file, clear nail polish, and cheap massage oil)
These are just a few tips that you could definitely use to enjoy Valentine's Day on a very small budget.
