Spend Less This Valentine’s Day (And Win an iPod Touch!)

ShareThis

***Congratulations to Emerson (Comment #360)... You have won the iPod Touch.  We have contacted you by email, and you will have 48 hours to claim your prize, or another winner will be drawn. ****

 

I’ll admit that I’m not as crazy for V-Day as I once was.  The romance is still there, but my husband and I quit getting extravagant with our gifts once more of our money started going toward diapers.  Still, it’s the little things that can touch your heart, so why not start small with a personalized gift that won’t break the bank?  Here are our favorite tips:

 

Last Minute Valentine Cakes on the Fly– Myscha makes bakin’ up some love seem simple.  Maybe because it really is!

 

Couplehood:  Avoiding the Valentine’s Clichés – Some might call Andrea cynical.  We call her amazing.  Read up on how to avoid being put into some kind of predictable “love box,” and gain some frugal inspiration at the same time.

 

Valentine Ideas for the Single Crowd – I know.  Not everyone is “lucky in love.”  But some would consider themselves pretty darn lucky to be single.  (This one’s for you.)

 

Flower Power: A Guide to Frugal Valentine’s Flowers – Roses are a racket, but that doesn’t mean you have to forgo the flowers.  This guide can save your marriage (and at least $50.)

 

Cheap and Romantic Ideas for Valentine’s Day – Perfect for any day of the year, these are just plain sweet (and many are free!)

 

There’s no excuse to avoiding a great gift, just because you’re a little strapped this holiday.  If in doubt, a modern version of the mix-tape is always a great idea.  To help you out, we’ve teamed up with Walmart and Nestle to give one of you lucky readers an 8GB iPod Touch – perfect for uploading your favorite tunes from Walmart.com (or any of the top love songs picked by the 11Moms.)  We’ll even throw in a gift card for your first 10 songs!

To be eligible to win, comment on this post with your favorite frugal V-Day tip.  You have until February 10th to enter.  (Winner will be announced on February 14th!)  U.S. and Canada only.  Must be 18 or older to enter.

Wise Bread will not sell or use your email address for any purpose other than to contact the winner.

Never underestimate the value of nothing. My girl and I haven't exchanged gifts in probably 3 years now and it never matters. Times are hard, but we'll always have each other...until you come to terms with that, I dont think any relationship is complete.

i have put together a list of 250 cheap valentines day surprises for my clients - mostly the men - I am a couples therapist - one of them that some love and others hate is to fill a bath with hot water - add several cans of cocoa mix and then float tiny marshmellows on top - I understand the shower after is the most fun - I for one have not tried this one!! - email me for the entire list if you woule like: cdrury@md.metrocast.net.

My frugal tip is to make a meal with your Valentine. My husband and I have been cooking together since we started dating. It is a great way to save money and a lot of fun to plan and prepare a meal together! We always plan on a yummy desert just in case the meal doesn't come out tasting all that great!

I hate how retailers use valentines day to sell us on the idea that we need to buy expensive gifts for our special someones. Valentines day is about love and love isn't about gifts.
My husband and I use Valentines day to reconnect with each other. My friend babysits our 3 kids (for free, bless her heart) so we can spend a quiet romantic evening together. I read him a homemade card with a personal poem and we spend the evening talking and remembering why we fell in love with each other. We drink a glass of our homemade wine (each bottle costs less than a dollar to make) and snuggle up together.
Things get hectic with 3 kids running around and all the stuff in our lives sometimes gets us caught up in too many other things. This is a night we get to fall in love all over again and it doesn't cost us a dime.

I shop yard sales all year for the "perfect" vintage valentines day card. I like cards form my elementary school years - the early 1960's. I buuy a frame at the dollar store use a piece of DD's construction paper for a mat. Cute card and present all in one for around $1.50

I save money by not paying full price for Valentine candy which because of packaging is higher priced than many regularly priced candy. I buy the less expensive candy and cut out pink hearts or use stickers to decorate these candy gifts for a fraction of the costs! Thanks!

Everyone has some talents they can "trade" at little to no cost. My husband is a professional musician and for-the-fun-of-it cook. He's made deliciously special meals and played violin for me. I can't claim such in-demand talents. So in exchange, I've created little pieces of art / heartfelt momentos and offered some dedicated back massage time.

This post had some good links to some valuable ideas. However, had I been in a relationship for a long time with a chick leading up to this Valentine's day, I'd gather all the pictures of us (or a lot of the good ones, lol) and compile them into an awesome and decorative album/scrap book. And, to top it off, the first and last page would have the scent of her favourite cologne of mine ;)

Look around the internet for sites like this and newspaper articles on inexpensive Valentine's ideas. A few years ago, I saw an article that mentioned a pizza joint that made heart-shaped pizzas at no additional charge. Most locally-run places will do it for you. I don't know about the chains.

This year, I'm recommending a play at the theatre where I work. General admission tickets are only $8 each, the show has a romantic theme, and it's something a little different. Check with your local community theatres to see if they have anything special going on.

I've come to realize my hubby isn't the best gift giver and that's ok - I still love him. What he does need is lots of definite hints about what to buy and how much to spend so we stay in budget. I cut out pics with prices and store names and/or email him wishlists with suggestions of what I would like. This way he doesn't waste money on something I may not like and he knows what kind of budget we are on.

I've been dating my girlfriend for the past 10 months and a few months ago decided that I would start growing her favorite flowers for a V-Day gift. It was very cheap but actually quite a bit of work! But it will be so worth it when I can finally give them to her on the weekend. We're staying in and I'm making her our favorite dinner and watching a movie!

You can make a home-made coupon book good for anything and everything. They could be for anything like a quiet day or night alone without the kids while your spouse takes the kids out or mowing the lawn or doing dishes. You can also throw some intimate things in there to spice it up, but lets be real. What woman doesn't want her husband to offer to do the dishes or laundry or babysit the kids once in a while.

We stay home and cook a fancy dinner. Then we go out for a couple drinks and desert. By making dinner at home, it saves on leaving a tip and having to pay more money for dinner just because it's Valentine's Day. Usually the restaurants we go to jack up the prices for Valentine's Day.

Here's my frugal Valentine's Day tip: never underestimate the bliss that is sleeping in! If you're a parent, you know all too well the drudgery of getting up early day after day with the kids. Last year my husband let me sleep in ALL day, and he took care of all kid and baby duty for the day.

Another tip? Skip the expensive presents and put $40 towards a cheap motel. Just having a night away from home and all of the obligations that goes with being AT home can really be a treat.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

And thanks for this great giveaway!

Being a student, I've had to find creative and inexpensive ways to celebrate Feb 14, and in the end I think that it's ended up even better than if I had shelled out a lot of money for an extravagant date. A lot of the most romantic gifts or activities are free or cheap -- for example, I once wrote a poem for my sweetheart and hid it under his plate to find when we cleared the dishes from the dinner I made. Another idea I like for new romances is to play a game in which we both write down intimate questions covering a broad range of topics, put them all in a bowl, and take turn answering questions that we draw (even if they're our own). Add to the list a themed movie mini-marathon, slow dancing to a pre-programmed ipod playlist, and the possibility of making your own chocolates (e.g., truffles) at a fraction of the cost of boxed candy, Valentine's Day can be special (and often even more special) on a budget.

Instead of buying a valentine's day card and flowers, Mr. Savvy and I like to leave each other surprise notes around the house where we'll find them throughout the day. We write the notes on anything handy: scrap paper, the mini etch-a-sketch, in soap on the bathroom mirror, etc. It saves us money, and it's like receiving a card every time I find one.

My tip for a Frugal Valentine's Day is to skip going out to a restaurant and prepare a romantic meal together. Having a nice conversation while preparing a meal provides a chance for team work and connection. My husband and I used to prepare meals together early in our marriage and we always looked forward to that part of the day - bringing back this ritual will be a nice gift for both of us.

To save money on Valentines Day I usually make a special dinner at home for my husband and I. After the kiddos go to bed we have it picnic style on the living room floor.

I also buy Valentines the year before when there are sales. I have quite a stock pile now and most of them weren't more than 25 cents a box. The kids and I also "paint" glazed sugar cookies to give out as treats to their classmates.

We're staying home that night, though we do plan to go to breakfast at a cheap cafe we both like. (We even have plans to shop at a nearby Goodwill afterward! How's that for frugal?)

We'll take a nice weekend trip later in the month when rates are lower. And we have plans to go out to dinner on a night when restaurants are less crowded and prices aren't hiked up. Just a simple date change saves a lot of money!

As hokey as it sounds, we celebrate each other often with little surprises on random days, so we don't need to spend lots of money on February 14th.

My frugal tip is to just stay home and enjoy each others company. Going out to eat is so overrated on days like this. We try and be each others Valentine all year long so Vday is like any other day to us. We do "splurge" and get each other a card. That's it and that is the way I like it! No expectations...no disappointments.

For Valentine's Day every year, we try to spice it up and do different things. My husband has written me a song, dedicated a song to me onstage, redecorated a room. I have arranged to have him taken up on his very first flight (for free!). Showing your love to someone shouldn't wait for one day of the year, but it also doesn't have to cost anything. A picnic in the park, a candlelit dinner in your backyard, a show put on for him or her by your children.

Even though women say they don't like flowers they do. You don't even need to get a huge bouquet or anything just one is enough with a card. What you write on the card should be very special so be thoughtful with the card. Making dinner is really cool too. She'll appreciate it.

My most frugal tip is that we make it ON A DIFFERENT DAY. My parents were married on Valentine's Day, so it is their day to go out, not to babysit our kids so we can. We love each other no matter what day it is, so it works for us.

Here is my tip but please rRemember that this is a corporate holiday, you can do this ANY DAY of the year for the one you love!

Here is how I have done it in the past. I told my bf (of 4 years) I had a date planned and to be ready in comfy clothes and to bring a sweatshirt/jacket. I had packed a blanket, candles, a towel, drinks, glasses, and his fav. dinner into a picnic basket. I picked him up and went to our favorite spot in the mountains right by a stream. I set up the blanket and we played in the stream a little(where the towel came in handy) and then just sat and talked, watched the stars and gave each other a massage in the brisk open air. After about an hour I took out the dinner picnic and lit the candles. He was very impressed (and he normally is the macho man type). After dinner he got in the mood of it all and found my fav song and put it on in the car and we danced under the stars. Even after we got home let's just say he showed his appreciation for all my efforts.

Find a spot that is just for the two of you, your company, laughter, and smiles are all you really need.

Have a great V-Day...from the Anti V-Day lady! =)

My boyfriend's favorite guilty pleasure is chocolate covered oreos. Instead of buying the expensive ones from the nice chocolate chop from around here, I make them myself! Buy some easily meltable chocolate and some oreos and I am good to go! Plus, then I get to decorate them any way I want to!

I make a BBQ for Valentine's Day. Dating was tough while I was at school and I shared a BBQ grill with a bunch of people. Putting together our sparse resources, my future wife purchased hot dogs and some fixings and I supplied the paper goods and did the grilling. The moral of all this is that things don't have to be expensive for romance. Small things back then have lasted throughout our over thirty years of marriage. Tip: be happy and enjoy life with the one you love.

As this year's Valentines day falls on a Saturday, many couples can celebrate for the entire day. Weather permitting, visit a place that holds memories or special meaning in your relationship. To save money, give small personalized gifts or hand-written cards. Instead of going out, plan a romantic meal at home. Try cooking food that you can share and finish with a playful dessert.

I'm sure this is something tacky Anchorman Ron Burgundy would do on Valentine's Day, but my idea is to swing by a cemetery late in the afternoon on February 14th and pick up some free flowers right before picking up your Valentine for McDonalds. Can't beat free flowers on the most expensive flower buying day of the year. To top it off, secretly save the valentine's day card for NEXT year....IF there is a next year! hahhaa

Go to Dollar store to buy little things, like card, something cute and that should save a few bucks. Chocolates and flowers you can buy anywhere else.
