I’m a “white guy”. I don’t cooperate with the Valentine Day scam; and, my wife thinks that is pretty smart.

I agree with your wife, and my husband agrees with you. We celebrated our anniversary just ten days ago, and anyway, as a general policy we don’t care for invented occasions that demand we spend money.

We went out on Saturday night, and skipped all the expensive meals.

We’ll get each other cards, and I might get some flowers.

Simple is nice.

“I don’t cooperate with the Valentine Day scam”

What’s the scam? I mean, no one forces you to buy anything or rips you off if you do. It is simply a made up holiday to sell stuff, but it has become a tradition.

I invested about $12 in strawberries and chocolate “Almond Bark” and we made chocolate-dipped strawberries for the whole family. It was fun, tasty, and inexpensive!

My wife really loved ‘em, too!
