I was at the Reitmans outlet today looking around for some new pants and it turns out that Reitmans is having a “buy any one item in the store and get a second item of equal or lesser value for 50% off” sale! It gets even better- this promotion even applies to sale and clearance items! I bought 2 pairs of jeans and a pair of dress pants and my total came in at just under $30, quite a deal. I came home and did some looking around on their site and it turns out that all Reitmans locations are having this blowout, plus the deal also extends to any online purchases.

Well, it’s that time of year again. If you haven’t already gotten out your pocketbook you better.  It’s almost Valentines Day. A special day invented by Hallmark.  Time to spend tons of money on frivolous purchases of chocolates, flowers, fancy dinners and all perhaps some sparkly shiny things.

Hold on wait.

Is this truly what Valentines  is supposed to be about? As the Black Eyes Peas sang so horribly at the Superbowl “Where is the love?”  Every holiday has become so commercialized can we not go back to the root of things where it didn’t have to cost hoards of money to show you love someone? (Ok men, the standing ovation really isn’t necessary.)

Here are some frugal ways to say “honey I love you but, i’m kinda broke.”

-Make her a mixed tape (cd) put your songs, mushy stuff even wedding dance on it. Avoid such songs as Baby Got Back Sir-Mix-Alot  and Confessions by Usher.

-Make dinner wearing only an apron.  *Please note this is not advisable if you have children or are having company for dinner.*

-Drop small candies into balloons and arrange them on your table as a beautiful centerpiece, and dessert.

– Give your honey a massage, yes a real one. Not a fake 2 minute one.

– Rent a chick flick, grab a bag of popcorn and spend some quality time with the one you love

– Make your own fortune cookies, with special memory messages inside and wrap them in cello.

-Come home from work on time. (Ok, so this one if for my husband.)

-Bake a cake and if you have kids let your kids decorate it. Everybody loves cake. If you don’t well.. thats another blog.

Feel free to add to my list.

If all else fails? Give her a hideous charm bracelet and tell her you went to Jarrod.

Happy Valentines Day!

I passed by Aeropostale today and saw they had a few in-store promos:

• $5 graphic tees, select styles only
• Tops – Buy one get one free
• Up to 70% off select styles

Check your local store to see if they have these same deals and don’t forget to print your coupon for $10 off $50 purchase (valid until 2/27/11) for even more savings. I know Aeropostale also takes SPC but not sure if you can combine it with a coupon. It’s worth a try though, there’s no harm in asking.
