Valentine's Day Gifts: Do You Look for Discounts?

In about two weeks from now, people will celebrate Valentine's Day. I've been shopping for a gift for my wife. I don't want to be cheap, but I also don't want want to spend an arm and a leg for an expensive item since we need to prioritize for our upcoming wedding in summer.

There are a few ways I know of when saving money. One is through my amazon affiliate program, and one is by hunting coupon and online deals like DealTattle.com - Coupon Codes & Discounts. I gave my wife a Kindle (an ebook reader by Amazon) for her last birthday (and as a Christmas present as well). She was happy and I know she will be able to use it. I was actually contemplating between that and a Sony, but in the end, Kindle seems to be the most practical for her.

This Valentine’s though, I want to give her bunch of flowers with additional fancies like chocolates and a balloon. I really don't mind if I couldn't find a deal or discount. I want to give her something thoughtful, so she knows I remember her even if we're far away. If I found a good deal, I'll grab it; it wouldn't hurt. Besides, my wife is not materialistic like any other girls. For her, the greatest gift I could her is myself.

That’s my kind of girl. ;)
