I read an article on CNBC where it was projected that Americans will be spending a whooping $20.7 billion on Valentine’s Day. That’s a lot of money to spend in a day. You should be able to show your spouse love everyday, not just on Valentine’s Day.

Before I totally digress from the main purpose of this article, let’s talk about how you can save money on Valentine’s Day. It is believed that couples that save together, stay together.

Indoorcation : Wait! No dictionary will give you the meaning of indoorcation because I only just came up with it.

Don’t forget to create a romantic atmosphere with candles and soft sweet music. Remember we are trying to save you money �.

The benefit of doing things together is creating new memories which keeps your relationship fresh and at the end of the day, you don’t get to spend a dime. There are lots of volunteering works around you, go online or ask your friends about it.

Parkation : I really need to stop coming up with meaningless words, but you have to pardon me just this time. There are lots of free parks where you can go sit and chill with bae. You can also go along with wine and snacks, this will never be as expensive as visiting a restaurant and you will still get to enjoy your Val. day with your boo

Be spontaneous and keep the price low: there are lots of spots around your city that you may not ordinarily want to explore but you can spice things up by exploring this places during this valentine season. An example is the famous cooked food market by Allen round about in Lagos. The food is cheap and the exciting memory of going to sit down there to eat will create an unforgettable experience.
