    Isn’t it amazing what effect the date February the 14th has on the prices of certain things? Every year it comes around, right in the middle of the stat holiday drought and it doesn’t matter if it falls on a Tuesday or a Saturday there are a few things you can count on:

    • Restaurant reservations are coveted
    • The menu has a lot of chocolate on it and the prices for dinner are higher than usual
    • The cost of buying flowers for your sweetheart is suddenly double

    It all goes back to the basic economic laws of supply and demand. Mostly demand in this case. There is no getting around the fact that the big day is once a year on the 14th of February and if you want flowers delivered on that date, you will pay the going rate!

    It’s one of those things though….it is worth treasuring the things you love any time of the year, not just on the day that the commercials tell you too! Creative and thoughtful ways of appreciating those you love doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg and likely will be received with a glowing smile if it’s not delivered per a formula.
