Valentines day - How much is it worth?

To spend V day in London having a meal outside is quite a spend. Easily £30 per head for a normal restaurant, so I figured its probably best to go to our nearby Sainsbury outlet and spend £5 on the groceries and wine and make it even more special. Might not have the ambience of a candlelight dinner, but I think its has more meaning to cook something for your special half rather than to say that you just spent xxx amount bringing her somewhere.

Recipes included ginger and garlic stuffed poussin(british styled spring chicken) with cheddar melted greens. Desert was Hot Chocolate Pudding based on a Nigel Slater recipe, which did not turn out as well as it should - Think I left it in the oven too long. And not forgetting the value for money Cava Brut champagne from M&S.

So what did you do for your special someone?
