A cut-price Valentine's Day may not seem a romantic gesture, but once your loved one sees your bulging savings, you're bound to be forgiven! For starters, you can effectively get a free box of chocolates through www.topcashback.co.uk. You'll need to register and go to the "Free Box Of Chocolates" page. You'll then need to spend £7.99 on a Luxury Valentine's Chocolate Box at the Chocolate Trading Company website for which you'll get cashback of £7.99. So what's stopping you? Enjoy!

It pays to buy more Greggs cupcakes

Not free but certainly aimed squarely at Valentine's Day are Greggs' new cupcakes.

They're 60p each but you can buy four for £2.20, thereby saving 20p.
