Romantic Valentine's Day on a Budget

Let's face it - love CAN cost - Big Time. What you can do if you are watching your wallet...

• Drive out to that winery you have always wanted to visit; free samples anyone?

• Pack a picknick, grab a blanket a few pillows and relax at your local botanical gardens. Food doesn't need to be eloberate; try fresh strawberries, chocoalte, champagne, cheese, crackers and dip.

• If you live in the city - jump in the car and take a leisurely drive out of town. Take your favourite tunes, turn off your mobile phones and see where the road takes you.

• Make a good old fashioned mix tape - make sure the songs are full of meaning to you as a couple. Not just your favourite songs.
