50 ways to save money this Valentines

1. Buy presents early to avoid the price hikes near Feb, we constantly post awesome deals
2. Book a discounted weekend or night away on the cheap, try Groupon or use our travel links
3. Make your own chocolates instead of buying expensive high-street chocolate (few bars of value chocolate melted into moulds)
4. Buy knock off fragrances (for the week) and then buy the real thing on the cheap (for the weekend), buy before Feb to save more!
5. Make your own Love Vouchers 😉
6. Flowers over Valentines suck, they’re either super expensive, arrive late or are tiny. Supermarkets seem the best place to buy as you can see them up front and the prices are generally competitive, Lidl (should be £3), Aldi (should be £5)
7. Grab some 2 for 1 on Cinema tickets
8. Write a “Top 10 Reasons Why I Love You” list.
9. Use vouchers everywhere (especially when eating out) but pay discreetly whilst you ‘go to the toilet’ 😉 Check the small print!
10. Make food that is in the shape of a heart (easy + cheap)

11. Buy a £1.80 Engagement ring (price varies each day but should be under £3)
12. DIY Posh Dinner, either a cheat meal deal from Waitrose & M&S or make something from scratch, either way it will be cheaper than your local restaurant
13. Change their ringtone / text tone / Whatsapp tone to something cute / your voice etc
14. Lingerie is always a winner (as long as you get the right size) and there are tons of sales on NOW but these won’t last!
15. Cover strawberries in melted chocolate (do the day before or on the day)
16. Set a limit on your present buying (good for the whole year) and see who can beat the other
17. Get some free photos and make your own gift
18. If you’re making dinner, then make a printed menu to make it posh and find a love album to play (not too cheesy)
19. Get creative with your wrapping paper (Christmas related but still applies)
20. Do one of the ‘100 things to do with your mates‘

21. Make Love heart paper clips
22. Take a 2-hour, one-time salsa or tango dancing lesson together. Spandex optional 😉

33. Find out what they need doing and just do it for them, no questions asked, just do it. Cutting the hedge, grass, cleaning their car etc. No questions asked just do it.
34. Create a memory box/photo frame/powerpoint presentation

41. Movie night. Buy some cheap popcorn, add some toppings, slip your onesies on and watch their favourite films.
42. What did you do on your very first date? Repeat it.
43. Buy a ton of fake rose petals (ideal to reuse 😉 ) and map out a course in the house, with you at the other end of it
44. Treasure Hunt: Go off to some of your favourite locations (local is probably best), hide a little gift at each location and then draw a quick map or give a set of clues for your partner to find the gifts
45. Do some wine tasting on the cheap, go to the local supermarket and buy several mini bottles of a few large bottles and find your favourite together
