Before we ever got married, my husband made it very clear that I would NOT be receiving flowers from him on Valentine's Day....ever. His reasoning is simple: roses around Valentine's Day are like gas prices in South Dakota in the summer; as demand increases, so does the amount of money coming out of your pocket book. So, he resolves to buy them at a time I don't expect them (and at a time he can get them for a fraction of the cost). He's so sweet!

What savvy way are you spending Valentine's Day this year? Share your ideas in the comment section...
