It’s Valentine’s Day on Monday but, with the uncertain economy, is it possible to have a romantic day on a budget?

Yes, according to price comparison website BizRate, which says lovers can woo significant others without emptying their wallets.

Here are some suggestions for this valentine’s day

  • Don’t overpay when you say it with flowers. Avoid overpriced roses and choose a different type of flower for a Valentine’s Day bouquet this year. Tulips or lilies can be just as beautiful but less expensive.
  • Cut the cost of chocolates. Take the time to make chocolate-covered strawberries at home, instead of buying gourmet chocolate truffles.
  • Get creative with cards. Make your own card, or use a free e-card website to tell that special someone how much you care.
  • Bring gourmet home. Cook Valentine’s Day dinner at home. A few candles and a good bottle of wine can make the evening especially romantic without crowds and inflated restaurant prices.
  • Create a photo book. Make a personalised photo book of favourite photos for that special someone.
