Valentine’s Restricted

People are going to have lavish, candlelit dinners with wine and spend a larger-than-life bouquet to express their love for a loved one. When the money is not in the budget to do that, a magnificent Valentine’s date will need to be postponed until next year. There might be a family and kids involved and not much money left in the budget.

Here Are Seven Budget Valentine Dates to Remember:

A Bubble Bath

• Run that special person a hot bath. Add some nice scented candles, fluffy towels, and bubbles.
• The important part is to let them soak and relax. Allow them to feel special and pampered.
• If the tub is large enough, later on, join them.

A Movie Night.

• Rent your favorite movie, make or buy some film snacks, and snuggle up in front of the television.

Redo That First Date.

• Did you share a bagel for your first date?
• Why not re-create it?
• Try it with the kids and make it even more special?

Try Dessert Out

• Leave the youngsters with Grandma for an hour or so.
