It’s a well-known fact that we live in a materialistic world and Valentine’s Day, which is just around the corner, is another excuse for people to go out shopping and overspend “in the name of love”.
Now I’ve got nothing against Valentine’s Day and sure I want to express my love for my better half every chance I get – but whether it’s jewelry, flowers or even dinner at a nice restaurant, the cost rapidly adds up which completely goes against the objectives of Frugal February. We’re here to eliminate unnecessary spending, not promote it!
So here’s a chance for the traveling couples out there to win a FREE Valentine’s Hostel Stay courtesy of HostelBookers. All you need to do is upload a fun couple shot – see below for further details.
