This year, Valentine’s Day landed on Thursday. Valentine’s Day is a day where we buy lots of perishable presents – flowers, candy, etc. So of course, the stores have all the Valentine’s Day items at 50% off even today… they don’t save until next year.
By celebrating on Friday instead of Thursday, we had the luxury of going out on a weekend night instead of a weekday night. But I also saved 50% on the gifts. Totally cheap? Probably; but I bought twice as much stuff…. I think I’ll do it again next year. Unfortunately, Feb 14, 2009 is a Saturday. So I’ll have to come up with a new excuse for waiting an extra day…
This will be interesting to watch and see how you end up pushing out a day in 2009. Keep us posted?
