Celebrating Valentine’s Day On A Budget

There are plenty of things to do on Valentine’s Day without breaking your bank. Let’s break it down now, shall we? 

Movie Night In

With the popcorn, soda, movie tickets and the chocolates, your movie night can get quite an expensive affair. Therefore why not turn your own home into a cozy movie night experience as you go about celebrating Valentine’s Day on a budget? You are already paying for your streaming services. So pick your favorite classic on Netflix this Valentine’s Day!

Put on those skates under a starry night’s sky

Pack up some sandwiches, a thermos full of hot chocolate and head over to the skating rink! You are guaranteed to spend some quality time with your loved one on a budget.

Game night is a fun way to celebrate Valentine’s Day

A game of Scrabble or cards? It’s a fun way to spend your Valentine’s Day! Add some homemade nibbles into the mix and a glass of wine, you are all set to celebrating Valentine’s Day on a budget yet in style.

Homemade Spa! Sounds Good to Me

Shop around for some bath salts, scented candles, and a bubble bath. You can create your own spa in the comfort of your own home. If you are living a busy life and are in need of a perfect way to relaxation, this is it! Throw in a pitcher with ice water, cucumber slices, mint leaves, and a squeeze of lime to cap off the ultimate spa experience.

Celebrating with DIY Valentine’s activities does not imply you are cheap, just that you are financially savvy! You do not have to miss out on the experience or end up with consumer debt! In my opinion, it’s a win-win.

If you’re struggling to pay off debt, ACCC can help. Schedule a free credit counseling session with us today.
