14 Freebies and Deals for Valentines Day

Valentines Day is one of my favorite holidays but to buy gifts, flowers and cards for your significant other, children, family and friends just gets to be mind-blowing and definitely tough on the wallet!

According to the National Retail Federation it is estimated that Americans will spend, on average, about $134 on candy, cards, gifts, dinner, and more, up slightly from about $131 last year. Total Valentine’s Day spending is expected to reach $17.3 billion.

If you would like to shop on the cheap for your loved ones, I found some great ways to have a frugal and fabulous Valentines Day still treating those that you love. Please let us know if you have any great freebies to share, as well.
