Valentine Freebies for 2014 ...


With Valentine’s Day falling on a Friday in 2014, I imagine that more couples than ever will be celebrating. Maybe that’s why the National Retail Federation is estimating that Americans will spend, on average, about $134 on candy, cards, gifts, dinner, and more, up slightly from about $131 last year. Total Valentine’s Day spending is expected to reach $17.3 billion.

“Valentine’s Day will continue to be a popular gift-giving event, even when consumers are frugal with their budgets. This is the one day of the year when millions find a way to show their loved ones they care,” said NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay.

Even so, I’ve tracked down some freebies in our local area that you can enjoy today:

Free Doughnuts at Krispy Kreme

Purchase 12 doughnuts and get a dozen Valentine Cards each good for a FREE doughnut of any variety. Offer ends February 14. Limit two per customer at participating locations, and while supplies last.
 
 
 
 

Free Lindt Chocolate Treat

Through Feb. 14, visit any Lindt Chocolate Shop to receive a free Lindt Hello Strawberry Cheesecake chocolate stick. Online orders will include this free gift, too.
 
 
 
Kiss for Free Food

Qdoba is offering a love-filled offer that is quite appropriate for Valentine's Day. Couples who kiss when they place their order for a queso entree will get one of their entrees for free.
 

 


Free Lobster Tail

On Feb. 13 and 14, Whole Foods Market will be having a surf and turf special to help your date night sizzle! When you buy a dry-aged steak, you will get a lobster tail free—a $10 value.
