3 Ideas for Valentine's Day on a Budget | Cleveland Bradley County Teachers Federal Credit Union
Are you still in the process of trying to financially recover from the holidays? While you might still want to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your loved one, the money to do so just might not be there—and that is OK!
Our team at Cleveland Bradley County Teachers Federal Credit Union wants to help you celebrate Valentine’s Day with your loved one while still sticking to a budget. Let’s take a look at some ideas:
Cook Dinner at Home
It only makes sense—when there’s a high demand for a product or service, the price goes up. That’s why dining out can be particularly pricey around Valentine’s Day.
As a result, if you’re looking to dine at a fancy restaurant with your loved one to celebrate the holiday, you are going to pay a premium price. Rather than putting your money into a restaurant, why not cook at home? Even if you choose to go with a steak or scallops for the night, it is still going to come out cheaper for you paying for it at a grocery store than at a restaurant on Valentine’s Day.
Plus, you don’t have to worry about fighting the crowds and can have a romantic night in instead!
Make Your Own Gift
While no one will say no to jewelry or a new watch, there is something to be said about gifts made from the heart. They add that personal touch that store-bought gifts cannot bring.
As a result, consider making your own Valentine’s Day gift this year. Whether it is a picture frame, photo album or coupon book, a homemade gift from the heart is one that will always win the heart of the recipient.
Do a Task for Your Loved One
How many times has your loved one come home, wishing the house was all clean? Or complained about needing to wash his or her car? Why not take care of that for your loved one as a Valentine’s Day gift?
Not only are you taking something off your loved one’s to-do list, you are also giving the gift of time—and proving that you’ve been paying attention! That’s a win-win.
