I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Valentine’s Day today. Whether you will be spending it alone or with someone special….please spend carefully. Try to find ways to save money while you are having a good time.

We are still in a bad economic time and one day is NOT an excuse to wreck the budget.

Here are just a few ways that you can save money this Valentine’s day and still have a good time.

heart1Make a card instead of buying one

Pick flowers together

Have a picnic instead of going to a restaurant

Use a coupon if you do go to a restaurant

Split the meal….romantic and saves money as well

Set up a joint savings bond or CD

The most important thing is to cherish the ones you love and show them you REALLY care….not just that you want to spend money.
