Consumerism Commentary: 6 Tips for a Frugal Valentine’s Day (Reprint Plus)

  • Writer's Coin · 1 year ago
    True, spending money isn't necessary on V-day, but it can also be a reminder to actually spend some of that hard-earned money on someone you love every now and then. I did and it was one of the most memorable experiences in my life.

    There is a reason that people will save months to have dinner at Per Se or The French Laundry...because eating there is an almost transcendent experience.

    Flaime: I have no doubt. Those restaurants, while transcendent, don't really fit into a "frugal Valentine's Day" plan. A more frugal approach might be to disguise yourself as a bus boy and pick the scraps from other people's plates when you clear the tables. Same restaurant, same food... :-)

    Pass over the chocolate? Are you kidding? I think chocolate on Valentine's Day should be mandatory. Even if I get nothing else....chocolate makes me (and most other women I know) quite happy...much more so than papaya ever could. Give up the lingerie and expensive restaurants, but not my beloved chocolate!

    I'm quite interested in your statements that pornography and lingerie (!) support terrorism. What in the world are you talking about?

    Last year, visitors had a much better sense of humor. It's a joke, people. It's *all* a joke. The terrorism thing should have been a dead giveaway. So much for my plans to re-run this every year. :-)

    Huahahaha... I was wondering about the terrorism as well... ^_^

    Thanks for the tips.

    Yay, nudity doesn't support terrorism! :)

    P.S. You're silly.

    I guess I support terrorism...ha!
