The affordable college student’s Valentines Date
A new semester of school has started, which means instead of spending money on a lavish Valentines dinner for your special someone; you spent it on textbooks. Instead of going out on an unfortunate date, try some of these tips that will save you money:
- Save some money on gift cards at eBillme.com, with great deals and cash back at restaurants like Omaha Steaks and Chili’s
- Stay in and rent a movie or hold a movie marathon
- If you have a kitchen in your dorm, make a dinner together or with a group of friends. Who doesn’t love food?
- For a fun desert, try cooking some s’mores indoors over the stove!
- Don’t have anywhere to go? Bundle up and grab some hot chocolate and go watch the stars in an open sports field on campus
Gift ideas:
- Looking for an inexpensive gift? Make a homemade collage of pictures that he or she can hang in their dorm room
- Go to a local craft store and buy melting chocolate and molds instead of spending a lot of cash on designer chocolates. It’s easy to make in the microwave and your Valentine will appreciate the homemade gift or the two of you could have fun making it together
- Burn a CD of your two favorite songs-write a note about why each one is special
- Leave little notes around his/her dorm room that say why you love them
The point of Valentines Day isn’t to spend tons of money, its to remind the people in your life why you love them. So for this Valentine’s Day, remind your Valentine why they are so special to you that will also save you money for Christmas!
