If you want the romance without the price tag perhaps this may help. Want a nice dinner with candles and flowers? No need to spend big bucks, it's the thought and the effort that count the most.
Go food shopping and cook, heat, or microwave the meal instead of going out to eat. He or she does not need to know how simple it may have been to cook that meal, they will just appreciate it.
Get fancy, a few dollar store candles, perhaps a dollar store table cloth, and flowers from the super market or the produce junction will add a touch of class and romance while not emptying your wallet or purse like the card shops and fancy stores would have you do.
Get a card, typically 2 for $1 at the dollar store. Keep one stashed for another occasion or mix in a different second item. A card will surprise him or her while adding more romance to the night.
Now you have saved at least half of the money that you would have spent on dinning out and shopping expensively. The surprise of a romantic night at home, "priceless".
Happy Savings!
