The average American spends $164.76 on Valentine’s Day, according to WalletHub. That means, collectively, Americans will spend more than $21.8 billion this year.
It’s hard to imagine such an astronomical number for one day of the year, but whether or not you celebrate Valentine’s Day, we could all use some tips on how to appreciate the ones we love without breaking the bank. Education Credit Union Buff $mart recently hosted a “Dating on a Budget” workshop featuring tips and tricks to do just that.
Treating someone to a nice date does not have to cost a huge amount. For example, more simple venues, like coffee dates, actually allow you to sit down and get to know your significant other in a more relaxed and engaged way.

With spring fast approaching, there are many outdoor activities in Lubbock to spend weekends doing. Texas Tech departments such as the Outdoor Pursuits Center offer free weekly classes and activities for students to get outside and moving.
âWe have a lot of different activities usually in the late afternoon when people donât have class, and we provide all of the equipment [for these activities] for free except for bike rentals which cost $5,â Payson Guillote, who works at the OPC, said.Â
The OPC hosts volunteer events such as picking up trash around Lubbock. There are also weekly yoga classes at Urbanovsky Park on Mondays, social bike rides on Tuesdays and kayaking pool sessions on Thursday, according to the OPC website.Â

There were difficult times in life at that moment, but through everything, it was clear how much we loved each other and never wanted a life without each other.
