Last-minute Dinner Ideas for Valentine's Day

This week, some timely basics: flowers, meat, seafood and produce.

We're all watching our budgets these days. Whether you're married or single, have kids or just pets, it's now a fact of life that you must find ways to save money.

Kent Patch is here to help you find deals and provide a forum for sharing deals you've found around the area.

Whether it's shopping with coupons, signing up for discount cards or using two-for-one specials, our weekly column will shine the light on local bargains. We'll help you save time because we'll scout out the specials for you.

Remember to tell us and your neighbors about any deals we may have missed. Just add them to our comment box. Then come back each week and see what we have uncovered together.

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, this week's money savers will begin with flowers, and continue with some items you could use for a meal on that special evening. Of course, meat, seafood and produce can be utilized everyday, not just on a holiday. So have at it. Save some money seven days a week.
