Make homemade chocolate strawberries, together!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Strawberries only cost about $5 a pound and depending on the baking chocolate you buy, it can be about $2. You could end up making lots of chocolate covered strawberries for less than $10! Plus, it\u2019s a lot of fun to do together.<\/p>\n

Prepare Your Own Dinner and Dress Up<\/strong><\/p>\n

Going out to dinner can be pricey, and it\u2019s hard to get reservations or you have to wait a long time before being seated. Instead make your favorite meal and dress up! That way you can do it out of the comfort of your home. You could make a dessert together and relax by renting a movie from Redbox or Amazon!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Give a Potted Plant<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead of giving a bouquet of flowers, give a potted plant! The plant will live a lot longer than a bouquet and you could end up spending a lot less. You can order easy plants to take care of like succulents or cactus plants for less than $10. Then, you have a beautiful plant that lives long and fits your budget.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just Have Dessert\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead of going out to dinner and spending a lot of money, why not just go out for dessert? Even if you go to a nice restaurant, you can enjoy a nice dessert for around $10 and still dress up and enjoy the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Catch a Movie In the UC<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Movies in the UC are only $1 with your HawkCard! How could you pass up an affordable date like this?! Head down to Summers Auditorium, grab some popcorn, and settle in for a nice movie for your Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n
