For anyone out there looking to have a great Valentine’s Day, but maybe trying to watch the ol’ finances, here are some ideas for you.  For example:

Do something low-stress. My wife and I used to celebrate Valentine’s Day with a trip to the bookstore together. We’d find some quiet chairs in the back and read through books together and talk quietly. We’d also go to a very low-key coffee shop and sip coffee together. These were very inexpensive things to do (provided we didn’t buy things at the bookstore), yet they were both enjoyable and fulfilling to us.

And if there are any ladies out there that want to see if these are good ideas by, you know, testing them, let me know.  I live in Atlanta.
