Going out to dinner for Valentine's Day is nice. But this year the day falls on a Friday which means even more people will be trying to go out to dinner.
That's why you should think about staying home. Why?
#1 Your restaurant experience could be bad.
·Restaurants could be understaffed and not be able to serve you properly.
·The restaurant could be so overcrowded that you can’t hear each other talk.
·Because of the busy holiday, some restaurants use a more generic menu that saves cooking time, but greatly limits your options.
·Restaurants often price gauge on wine or other alcoholic beverages on Valentine’s Day.
#2 The comfort, options that come with home can’t be beat.
·You can dress up or down.
·You can control any music or movies playing in the background.
·It’s quiet, and romantic moments can be shared privately instead of out in public.
#3 Cooking can be romantic, too.
There's something to be said about the act of preparing a meal for your significant other. It's also fun to do it together.
#4 You could snag heart-shaped foods from carryout places.
#5 Money can be saved.
Think of what else you can do with that cash.
So...now what are your plans?
