The classic song may insist "Can't Buy Me Love," but the facts say otherwise. A perfect Valentine's Day date usually means spending more cash than you would like. Just how much, you ask, and on what? The folks at CashNetUsa.com have broken down the Cost of Love. It's hard to imagine that we eat 58 million pounds of chocolate and that there are 220,000 cheesy wedding proposals in that single day. Check out the other crazy-cool Valentine's Day stats!

I spent a whoppin' $2.50 plus tax this year... :-) I bought each of my kids and my husband a cute little box of Jelly Belly's that were 3 for $1 and a box of conversation hearts for our home school partners that were also 3 for $1! 4 boxes of each, then I made a little card for my family members and left them by their beds so they could see them when they woke up. That's it for today!
They were very VERY happy with it. :-)
This just completely cements our idea of not celebrating at all.
