Valentine’s Day Values!

Hearts and flowers can be pricy but they don’t have to be!

Lissa Miller, who writes a blog called Saving Your Cents  buys Valentines the week after the holiday and saves them for a year. She also recommends saving saving red sprinkles, baking supplies, candy and decorations from Christmas and repurposing them into Valentine treats.  To read Miller’s blog go to savingyourcents.net

Instead of spending money on flower delivery, consider an elegant potted orchid that will last for months or even years if you take good care of it.

The dollar section of Target is a great place to find inexpensive Valentine treats, especially if you go early while there’s a good selection.

Instead of an expensive spa day, try a place like the International School of Skin and Nail care, where students under close supervision from instructors pamper you from head to toe. It’s located at 5600 Roswell Road, Atlanta, GA 30342

Or, for a romantic date that won’t break the bank do some gallery hopping. For example the Decatur Market and Gallery  is having a reception Saturday night, February 13th. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be provided.  The gallery is located at 153 Ponce De Leon Place, Decatur, GA  30030 (404) 377-0755.
