The best way to save on Valentine’s Day is not to forget that this date is coming soon and that the worst thing you can do is go out shopping at the last minute. We want to share with you the following 5 statistics about the Day of Love in this article, for you enjoy it with out excessive expenses, according to Wallethub:
1.- 53% of women separated if they did not receive a gift:
And yes, the great reality is that despite being told that they do not want anything on that day, many are waiting for a detail.
So it is better to buy something with time and not have to call a restaurant to have food delivered to the house at the last minute at a much higher price.
2.- Men will spend twice as much to buy:
Statistics show that on average men spend about $122, which is twice as much as women, and in many cases…
It has to do with not being planned and going out at the last minute to buy something.
3.- The good part of shopping:
98 million Americans expect to buy less this year:
The pandemic has made us much more aware of our purchases, remembering that love is not measured by a gift.
4.- Unwanted gifts, for unintended purchases:
More than 43 million people in the US will receive gifts that they do not want…
Representing a cost of more than $9,500 Million in things that the other person did not want.
5.- A buy Gift Card, how unromantic!:
On this February 14, it is estimated that Americans will make purchases of more than $2,100 Million in Gift Cards.
Which we know that for many of the Hispanic couples it can be the most unromantic gift that exists.
But, if we see it financially instead of buying something that can be 4 times more expensive and the other person is not going to like it, it might be better to give a Gift Card.
Once again we see that the key to success lies in planning and not putting off until tomorrow what we can do today!
