Let’s face it: Valentine’s Day is expensive whether you’re a girl or a guy.

Does your Valentine love sports? Orlando Magic game tickets are less than $15! Some games are scheduled close to V-Day, so cheer on the magic with your valentine on a date that’s sure to be a fun time.
Another way to show your love this V-Day is with a homemade meal for two. Even if you’re not an awesome cook, making something at home shows your sensitive side and saves your wallet a few bucks. Does your valentine have a favorite meal from home? Make it! It will show him or her that you care about them and really want to make Valentine’s Day special. A meal at home can be romantic: light candles, buy a bottle of wine, even dress up to set the mood of a fancy restaurant, without the fancy price.
If you don’t have a valentine and would rather make V-Day a night out with your friends, head to The Station for some great food, music and drinks. The Station is pairing with Her Campus UCF to bring you a Valentine’s Day unlike any other. Five dollar cover plus $1 off if you have a HCUCF wristband. Celebrate V-Day on the cheap and meet new people at The Station UCF.
