Valentine’s on the cheap

The Tab’s guide to showing your loved one you care for under a tenner.


Low on cash but want to treat your girlfriend/boyfriend/yourself to a luxurious day of romance?

We’re here to help. For a bargain price of £9.72 you’ll be able to provide your other half with: a card, a gift and a romantic 3 course meal for two.

Card: 50 p – ASDA

For a very fair price of fifty pence, you get the humorous image of pears with eyes, a terrible pun and poor grammar.

Gifts: 99p each – The 99p Store

This chocolate claims to be the ‘ideal gift for someone special’ and I don’t doubt that claim for a second.

Is your partner a winner? Why not give them a plastic love trophy?

I’m sure any girl would fall in love with a guy who gave her 2 for 99p glittery candle holders.

Nothing says love like non-alcoholic wine and a teddy bear.

3 course meal: £4.27 – Lidl

For starters, serve up a steaming plate of heart shaped pasta.

For mains, treat your lover to a delightful plate of heart shaped chicken nuggets.

And for dessert, share a microwavable spotted dick.

There you have it, Valentine’s Day for under a tenner. Who said romance was dead?
