How to spend Valentine’s Day on a budget

Need some low-budget ways to spend Valentine’s Day that will still feel special and romantic? There’s no need to spend a lot in order to spend the day together. Here are some ideas that will definitely be a hit, requiring only little effort and a small budget.

Organise a romantic dinner at home: If you have the house to yourself, whip up a romantic candlelight dinner. No need to be a chef, a simple pasta dish and ice cream as dessert will do the trick. Your special someone will definitely appreciate the effort. If you share a flat with roommates, make a deal with them to have the house to yourself and in return you can promise to do the dishes for a month!
Be tourists for a day: If the weather forecast is for a sunny day, take a trip around town! The area we live in often hides the most beautiful and unexplored places. Think like a tourist and explore the hidden corners of your town or city. Discover a beautiful park, building, cool hiking spot... The possibilities are endless!
Enjoy a free activity: There will certainly be some no-cost activities in your area that would make a fantastic Valentine's Day activity. Take a look at free museums, street concerts, festivals or other events organised by your municipality.
