Save money and spend your love this Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day can be expensive, from a bunch of roses to expensive meals and gifts. Before you know it, you’ve spent a chunk of your monthly wage on a single day.

What else could you do?

You could put it towards booking a holiday, take the family on a day out or simply save for a rainy day.

Showing your partner just how much they mean to you doesn’t always have to be expensive.

Five top tips to save this Valentine’s Day:

• Stay in and cook for your other half, instead of spending money on an expensive meal in a restaurant.
• If you are heading out for dinner, take advantage of 2-for-1 offers or look for special Valentine’s Day deals. Alternatively, book your meal for before or after Valentine’s Day as restaurants may increase their prices on the 14^th.
• Instead of paying to watch a film at the cinema, grab some popcorn and watch a film at home from the comfort of your sofa.
• Don’t succumb to the valentine’s day gimmick presents, that will no doubt end up in the back of a cupboard.
• Finally, spread the love with a simple valentine’s day card, tell them how much you care.
