Inexpensive Valentine's Day Ideas

Valentine's Day is coming, and while it is one of the most romantic days of the year, it is also an expensive one! In these days of uncertainty, it's essential to find ways to be financially efficient and save a few bucks when possible. Of course, it's normal to want to splurge on a fancy date night, but if you're looking to save a few dollars, here are a few tips on things you can do to celebrate the special night.

• Dinner & a movie at home – Memories don't require money. Spend the night in with each other. Cook a meal together. It can be something fancy like a steak dinner or simple comfort food like grilled cheese & tomato soup. Whatever you choose, it's likely cheaper than going out to an establishment. Follow dinner with a movie! This is an excellent inexpensive way to spend the evening together.
• Go for a hike – You can always go for a walk if being outdoors is your thing - for only the cost of gas to get there. There are likely trails in or near your hometown. You can have some of the best conversations by disconnecting from electronics and spending time together in nature.
• Hit the road – While you may have to spill out some money for gas, another idea is to go for a drive. Drive to some of the memorable places you share with your Valentine. Take time to reminisce, and be sure you have a good playlist ready to go!

Remember, you don't have to spend much money to have a memorable time. You can read more here about ways to have an inexpensive Valentine's Day with the one you love!
