AAA DISCOUNTS & REWARDS LET YOU SPOIL YOUR SWEETHEART ON A BUDGET

If you’re one of the 50% of Americans who still celebrate Valentine’s Day, you probably take the holiday very seriously. You know, chocolates, jewelry, dinner and a movie … That kind of thing. While we agree that you can’t put a price tag on love, the National Retail Federation attempted to, and what it found was that Americans spend a lot of money on Valentine’s Day, as in $20.7 billion a lot.

Upon further dissection, the NRF concluded that the average consumer spends approximately $162 on Saint Valentine’s Day. The biggest spenders are between the ages of 35 and 44, averaging $279.14. Individuals between 25 and 34 are the second-biggest spenders, averaging $239 each February 14th.

If you’re looking at these numbers and thinking you can’t afford to spoil your loved one this Valentine’s Day — especially so soon after the holidays — don’t sweat it. At AAA, we partner with top brands and retailers to bring you steep discounts and rewards on everything from dining to chocolates and more. See how your AAA membership can help you spoil your valentine on a budget.
