Any guy can blow a bunch of money on food, flowers, and gifts for Valentine’s Day and dazzle a woman. But, it is possible, with a little bit of imagination, to impress a woman on Valentine’s Day without breaking the bank.

Here are a few ways to take care of your lady … on the cheap.

  • Taffy – Instead of chocolate (which is expensive and brown), find a store that sells taffy, which is cheaper and colorful.
  • Plants – Roses are expensive and clichéd, so be on the lookout for a blooming plant.
  • Online – Check such sites as Groupon.com and Livingsocial.com for local deals on fun date night ideas.
  • Stay Home – Cooking a meal and serving it on a candle lit table gives you a lot of bang for your buck.
