Leaving it Till the Last Minute? Here’s How to Plan the Perfect V Day Dinner on a Budget

How is it February 14 already?

If you’re anything like me, you woke up this morning, checked your phone and realised, oh god, it’s Valentine’s Day.

While others are out planning elaborate flower deliveries, extravagant dinners and romantic evenings, I’ve spent the last month trying to come back from Summer break.

Not to worry, ‘cause here’s the ultimate guide on planning the perfect last-minute V Day.

Whether you’re taking out your significant other, going on a first date, enjoying the night with a Galentine’s or Palentine’s day dinner, or even just treating yourself, it’s gonna be a good one.

Plus, with these deals, you can still impress without breaking the bank.

Get the perfect gift.

If you’re keen to get your special someone that perfect gift, look no further.

A last-minute gift is one of the hardest things to grab but there’s a few that are guaranteed to be a winner.

With uni coming up, it’s the perfect time to grab them something they can use everyday – just like a T2 flask.

Student Edge members can grab a flask and two tea cubes for just $55!

Or, why not go with the classic movie date, and go cheap with Hoyts tickets for just $12.50.

Hoyts are even showing Titanic across the country today, and for just $12.50, it’s a no-brainer.

Plan the perfect dinner.                                 

Of course, it’s all about the date. Now you could go to a fancy restaurant and spend a lot, but why not eat in with a cheap meal?

Spend just $15 bucks and grab two small student boxes from Noodle Box for what would really be the perfect V Day in.

But, if you’re planning a Galentine’s or Palentine’s party, look no further than the humble pizza.

You can grab premium and traditional pizzas 30 per cent off with Domino’s.

The stars have also aligned this year, because with V Day falling on a Tuesday, Student Edge members can cop two for one large pizzas from Pizza Hut – an offer only available on Tuesdays.

Valentine’s is really all about the sweets.

Valentine’s Day really is the holiday of chocolate, so why not go nuts?

Head out to San Churros with one of our two decadent deals - $10.95 for churros and a hot chocolate or save $4 on churros and a small coffee.

Or, if you’re not the chocolate type, why not go all out with a dozen Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnuts for just $15!

Whatever you do, make your V Day a sweet one with these deals and more.

Check out our full list of deals to make you the ultimate partner, friend or gift-giver this Valentine’s Day.
