Valentines On A Budget

Valentines On A Budget

Romantic Dinner

Sometimes a person can be low on money when a special day comes around.  Valentine’s Day is a day that is for two people who are in love and the tradition is that gifts be exchanged.  However, what is one to do when the bank account is low and Valentine’s Day is only a few days away?    Believe it or not, two people can have a wonderful day even if they do not have a lot of money to spend on one another.  Here is more information on how to do Valentine’s Day on a budget.

 

 

Cheap Flowers

There is no day better for overindulgence then Valentine’s Day, and people really tend to blow big bucks on a lot of gifts. However, the idea is quality over quantity when you do not have a lot of money to spend.  Roses are a wonderful and beautiful gift, but some florists sell a dozen of them for at least one hundred dollars.   A great place for a low cost bouquet of flowers is a grocery store.  Many famous grocery chains have an on-site flower shop, and you can get a nice bundle of flowers for less than twenty dollars, and these flowers are just as beautiful as ones from a florist.

 

 

Romantic Dinner at Home

Another popular way to have a great Valentine’s Day is to go out for that special dinner.  However, that can turn into a big bill that can run as high as one hundred dollars.  A man or woman can take half of that, which is fifty dollars, and go to the grocery store to get that exact same meal.  With the money saved in preparing that delicious dinner at home, you can even get a nice bottle of wine and include a wonderful dessert!  Light a few candles, put on some soft music, and enjoy a meal at home with the one you love that cost a lot less, but will mean so much more.

 

 

Romantic FlowersLove

Making love is the way most couples end their special romantic day.  However, this is a great way to make it even more beautiful and special.  With the use of candles, massage oil, and a romantic fire, a couple can have a wonderful night that no one can put a price tag on.

 

Valentine’s Day can be expensive, but this does not have to be the case if you and your spouse are low on money.   Anyone can figure out how to do Valentine’s Day on a budget if they sit down and plan things out very carefully.  Love has no price tag, and anything done on this day can be priceless if someone puts their heart and soul into it.

Dogs and Holidays

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

Dog’s Point Of View Of Christmas


That time of year is coming again – when humans come together in large groups and the house is filled with delicious foods and smells. All the humans sit at a great big table and eat and eat until no one can move. I would gladly do the same except that I am not allowed at the table. I am the family dog and I always watch this event from the ground. The humans call it Christmas.

 

 

Last year was different from most Christmas’. Usually I parole the kitchen area but get yelled at to get out. I can’t help that the delicious smells drive my senses insane. During this time I am ignored except for when I am being yelled at to get out of the way. I hate Christmas until the food begins to move from the kitchen to the room with the big table. Then it’s show time.

 

 

When the humans move to the room with the big table I try to follow without being seen. This is easy since everyone is busy yelling at the big box in the living room or preoccupied with the turkey. At just the right moment I make a dash for underneath the table. The big blankets they put on the table on this day help make it easier to hide.

 

 

I’ve suffered a few bumps and bruises from swinging feet, but I have managed to collect bits and pieces of their Christmas dinner. More often I get lucky at the kid’s table. Plenty of pudgy hands offer me food I find quite delicious – until the moms find out and order my accomplices to “Eat your vegetables!”

 

 

But like I said earlier, this last Christmas was really different. In fact, I’m hoping this next one is just like it. I don’t know why but my humans paid a lot of attention to me than they usually do. Earlier in the day, one of my humans took me for a long walk. When we got back, they presented me with a brand new bone and chew toy! I was so tired from the long walk and the bone was so doggone good that I didn’t even care about the smells coming from the kitchen. This bone was much more my style.

 

 

When the humans moved to the room with the big table, I thought I might do my usual rounds. Just then my owner served up a special meal for me with fancy dog food I’d never had before. It was like my own Christmas meal. I got great food and never even got yelled at or kicked underneath the table. I can only hope they remember to do the same this year.
