What to Do For Valentine's Day When You and Boyfriend Are Broke
Does anyone have any ideas for what to do for Valentine's Day when you and your boyfriend (college students) are flat broke? I'm talkin' scraping change off the floorboard of your car broke. Is there anything we can do that doesn't cost money? Should we float Valentine's Day until we can afford to celebrate it well? Is there a way we can get some money (even just a little) fast?

well you could use computer paper make a valentine's day card if you have cake mix and frosting make a cake. or just watch movies online or your movies at home . spend time with each other. i didn't buy anything for my man and i made him a card out of colored paper . i love being creative and i think u should be creative . write him a love poem to show him your love from him. good luck on which you decide .

I'd say just do something special with each other.
Go have a picnic, or go for a long walk and pick flowers. Or spend it inside cuddling and watching movies.
If you want to get him something, you can look on Pinterest and look at the cheap ideas. You can be really creative and make him something.
If anything, just make him a cute card and spend the day with him.

There's no reason to bow down to the mighty St. Valentine promotional machine. Why not make a conscious decision to celebrate Valentine’s day in the spirit it is meant to be celebrated?
The real spirit of Valentine’s day is to recapture the original passion, admiration and love that you felt when you first realized that you belong together. Perhaps you can surprise him by trying to repeat, as much as possible, of that first day. Spending time and being creative tells your beloved that you really thought things through and that you took trouble to show him how much you love him. In fact, by rejecting any store-bought gifts in favor of home-made gifts and personal attention is, in a retro kind of way, the coolest thing you can possibly do.

ok heres a few things ive done before.
sell some stuff on craigslist that you dont use for money for vday. then use the cash for that for something small together, like going to star bucks and trying a new drink (sharing it of course) or go to a second hand store that buys "vintage" clothes and see if they'll buy some of yours for cash.
go to a public place that has roses or flowers, bring your scissors and snip a few off when no ones looking. honestly its not that big a deal and no one will care if you just take like one or two.
AKA put a thing of flowers together YOURSELF then bring it home and put it in a vase for the both of you to enjoy. instead of the flowers being for one person or the other it can be for the both of you, just dont do this WITH him, it might make him feel weird about it, itll be more like a surprise.
Or ask someone you know that has a garden if you can have a few flowers from theirs. ; )
clean up where you live (if you live together) and set the flowers somewhere, where you can both enjoy them.
If you can only get a few dollars, why dont you pop for having his car washed and or vacuumed out? just as a gesture of caring.
When it comes to valentines day really its not about the money its about showing your partner how much you still care about them, so REALLY anything you can do even if its a small gesture is fine. Anything that makes their life a little easier even if its just for the moment really can make a difference.
If you have no money and you OWN a vacuum then take the thing out to his car, get some extension cords and clean the car out yourself! thats free!
Take a drive to the beach near sunset?
anything thats free that you dont NORMALLY do together could work.
offer to clean someones house for a few bucks?
if you really wanna do something where money is needed though, find some stuff you dont use anymore and sell it on craigslist for cheap, or find a family member that had some stuff they dont need and tell them you could really use it and ask if you can have it then sell it.
cook dinner if you can at your house.
these are just a few ideas, try to do things that are different from what you normally do with him in a generous manner.
