Well it’s that time of year that all men dread and all women either love or hate depending on their man (or lack thereof). This has me wondering what the demographic of our readers is. So hit us up in the DM (which is the public Comments section below) and let us know.
This year I’ve decided to take a FRESH approach to Valentine’s Day and see if I can get away with spending less than $15 while feeding I and my significant other is she decides to attend. Here is my step-by-step guide to the best V-Day ever.
Step #1 – Make your own card. Women love sentimental stuff right? Think things that are from the heart…. So why not make your own Valentines card? Hallmark is either a rip-off or a bailout opportunity for when you forget a big date. Here is a sweet poem that I came up with in 10 minutes..... from the heart:
FRESH like summer's breeze
Nothing like executing with ease
PRINCE charming can't be faded
OF DEALs that are outdated
Protecting you from Revanent's Bear
Creating new accounts so you can have a breath of fresh AIR
Although you know I love a cheap deal
I'd rather have you as my Valentine..... for real
Step #2 – The gift. Here are a few extremely thoughtful gift ideas:
1) Burnt CD of all her favorite jams
2) Handmade artwork (we aren’t talking Picasso or Warhol)
3) IOUs – My personal favorite
Step #3 – Dinner. So many options here. You can either make something yourself with food from the grocery store (while using apps like Ibotta) or load up on the other free food options. My date this year will be receiving an entrée from Carrabas (check out previous post), a double Jack, and a Chipotle Burrito (text “raincheck” to 888222 and follow instructions on the link). No way your date can eat all that food unless you are dating Gloria from Madagascar.
Lastly for BBVA bank account holders, go hit up your local BBVA and ask about the Mobile Deposit initiative they are doing. You should receive a $1 check to deposit into your account as a free trial. Be sure to have the app already downloaded on your phone. Because as you know, every dollar counts…. and that’s how it’s Post To Be.
