    Re: How much do you spend on Valentines Day?

    We have agreed not to spend anything on each other this year, and the kids are too young to understand the day. Maybe I'll make some heart-shaped cookies tomorrow...

      Jessie do tell! You've got us all wondering now!

      No spending here tomorrow but I'm cooking a prime rib, YUMMMMMMMMMMM!

      Hmm, the 1/2 priced chocolate the next day is a good idea though, might have to run to town.

          I woke up to a bouquet of red roses. Hubby printed them off of the FTD website.

          Now I call that priceless!

              I spent about $25 for a very nice frame that holds 5 photos. I had the photos reprinted from digital shots of the time we've spent together.

              I got a dozen red roses, some sexy lingerie and dinner at a restaurant tonight.

                  I made Dh peanut butter cookies with hersheys kisses. Cost $5. He is making me dinner: Pork roast, potatoes augratin, green beans almandine and choc mousse all from scratch. He probley spent less than $20 for ingrediants. So we'll be eating like kings for the cost of Micky D's, and we don't have to go out in the snow. I got a heated massage rock unit as a gift a couple of years ago, We will give each other hot rock massages after dinner. Cost $0. Who says being cheap isn't sexy?

                    Hubby brought me home a lovely cake that says Happy Valentines Day on it! I was so excited because usually he forgets Valentines day and my dad gave me a card with $1 in it which he says is better than candy because it is calorie free. He is so funny.

                        We said we weren't going to get eachother anything for V day -- We made dinner Tuesday night. But we went out to dinner the week before for our Anniversary.

                        I received flowers and chocolates from my preschooler Valentines though :-)

                            We took the kids to an all you can eat restaurant not really a valentines deal more cause we got our tax refund back & usually go some place half way nice to eat & tues is dh's day off so we went on valentines day that was just under $30. Even thought that was more a tax deal I would say this is one of the only times in the 7 years dh & I been together we did something on valentines day.

                            Then I bought the kids balloons & candy $20 for all 3 only really did it because all the kids at school had parents sending thier kids balloons & stuff I felt so bad for my girls cause I really didnt buy them anything I wait tell afterwards & I bought 2 of the kids treats for thier classes that was about $10 all together.

                            So I guess $60 all together which about killed me!!! I mean I just hate to waste money!! BTW the kids had cards I bought clearanced last year at 90% off so only spent about .10 on thier cards. I will do the same thing this year in about a week I get tons of valentines stuff at 90%.
