We go back an forth every year as to who has to plan our valentine's day so you don't get fatigued thinking of ideas. But many times it isn't on valentine's day and is usually just a meal or something.
I have an upstairs neighbor technically 2 people that are obnoxious and pound around stomping on the floor most of the time on purpose I know this because I have confronted them about blasting there stereo with bass and i can't even watch TV I have reported them to the office at my apartment building and they just continue to be rude and there is an open parking spot for guests but they seem to think they are intitled to the spot because they own 2 vehicles. There are plenty of people living here with more than one car that aren't complaining but they come home and I'm parked in the spot because my girlfriend is pregnant and it's closer but they will get home and slam the door and pound on the floor. How can I keep from going to there door with a aluminum baseball bat and settling this in a negative way? By the way I'm 23 and from what I can tell the neighbors are at least 30 or older but throw tantrum like a child
Totally disagree on the garlic press. Cutting garlic sucks, good presses are little miracle devices. However, I've pretty much decided frsh garlic isn't worth the trouble most of the time given how often I use garlic. A big jar of minced garlic from Costco in the fridge is the way to go.
Exactly. Love it because it KEEPS ALL OF THE PULP, and has a powerful motor so is very reliable. The author was completely wrong on both these major points. Not right to just such false statements.
All of these are great options . . . if you're really serious about paying down debt. We used debt consolidation and balance transfers in the past. They were helpful in keeping those debts stable, but we kept on spending too much money. Those of us battling debt should definitely use these tools, just don't let them make you too relaxed. The money is still owed, even if you're not paying high interest rates on it.
While this isn't an exhaustive list by any means, it's a decent start. I wish someone would have told me about the "don't take out more in student loans than you expect to earn in one year's salary" concept. Might have made me think twice about what I did. :)
We exchange love letters. Have a romantic candle lit dinner at home. Then cuddle up on the couch to watch a romantic movie. We focus our attention on each other. How can Valentines Day get better than that?
We take turns cooking throughout the normal weeks, usually something quick. For valentine's day, I will probably cook dinner but the kind that takes all day to make. Maybe throw in a cake as well.
You are incorrect about the nutribullet. A nutribullet is NOT a juicer. It's a high powered blender that saves all the fiber. A juicer, on the other hand gets rid of the fiber. Also, I have had mine for well over a year and use it everyday- NO problems. Please get your facts straight before you author an article.
I finally bought an electric can opener last year. We have always had a manual can opener, but shortly after hitting 50 years-old it started getting difficult to use because of the aches I get in my hands. I still keep a manual opener in the house (never know when the power may go out), but the electric opener is the one I use regularly now and my hands really appreciate it!
We just stay at home and enjoy each other's company.
So how is life at VPI?
Hello, Janet! Perhaps we'll get to work together the next time I submit a piece to Wise Bread.
Glad to have you in the Wisebread team, Janet! :)

Agreed, except garlic press and zester. If by zester you mean zester/stripper (that's the name on Amazon :)), not microplane, agreed too.
I get great results with my garlic press, definitely not a waste of money in my household.
Some of these items ARE worth the money if you have arthritis, Parkinsons, etc. I think you need to qualify your premise.

If you can't take care of your personal obligations first, how can you help someone else?
Face reality and the real world.
celebrate it early and be creative! we had a contest one year to see who can make the best celebration on the lowest budget

I make my own Valentine's cards to send to friends and family - that's really the only celebration that happens!
I love my nutribullet! It's not a juicer!

Welcome, Janet!
We celebrate Valentines Day on a budget by staying home

I learned that electric can openers are helpful when your hands have arthritis.

I love my garlic press and my zester. Gotta buy quality ones though.
