Celebrate Valentine's Day on a Budget
A person's ideas about Valentine's Day usually go one of two ways they either love it or else they see it as an unscrupulous ploy by the greeting card, candy and flower industries to rake in money.
Regardless of which category you fall into, I've got some great ideas for you and your special someone (yes, your special someone could be yourself) to enjoy the holiday this week at little or no cost, some without ever leaving campus!
Enjoy!
