February 12, 2009 by Tara Kuczykowski 5 Comments

Money4MomsToday on Money4Moms we’ll be sharing tips on how you can make Valentine’s Day special on a budget!

I posed this question to my followers on Twitter earlier and received lots of great responses from the ladies and gents on there.




Here’s just a small sampling:

  • BellytoBellyButtonbtobbutton We’re planning on going to a matinee. I’m excited, because we never get to go to the movies.

  • Christy Nelsonsra_nelson We are going to a dance at our church-free for anyone, dj, snacks! Only cost is babysitter.Find activities in local paper.

  • Chriscclogos Vday on budgethttps://dealseekingmom.com/instead of going to dinner, do late lunch. still get to go out and save $$ same time.

  • walkwithmewalkwithme Don’t go out-dress up and watch a movie/ play games (Wii) together at home. :) LOL That’s what we have to do this year.

  • momadvicemomadvice Candlelit dinner AFTER the kids go to bed- we break out the good stuff- good food & good china! I love it!

    Tara, I just listened to you and Mercedes. I did the post-it thing you were talking about a couple years ago and my husband loved it. I wrote different sentiments on each and put them all over the bathroom mirror. When he took them down, he put them on a piece of paper to save them. Today I made heart shaped brownies for him to take to work tomorrow to share with his fellow employees. I also went on Hallmark.com and sent him a free e-card. He liked that, too. You should check it out. They also had ones for $.99, and ones you could put your own pictures in the e-card (I don’t have access to do that). We are supposed to go to Red Lobster Sunday, since Saturday will be mobbed. So Saturday I will probably do the post-it thing (this time with heart shaped post-its and form a heart), make him a special breakfast (eggs, bacon, toast, hashbrowns, grits, fresh carrot juice).
    Dinner will be filet mignon from Omaha Steaks we got for Christmas. We’ll probably do snacks during the day. I have mini crabcakes in the freezer, then cheese and crackers, black olives. Boy, is anyone hungry?
    Happy Valentine’s Day to all.
