BY: Carolyn Alterio |Jan 23, 2023
You don't have to snag a reservation at a fancy restaurant to have a showstopper meal this Valentine's Day. Many delivery services like Omaha Steaks and Whole Foods specialize in luxe ingredients and meals that can be delivered right to your door. And Groupon Coupons has tips to help you create a romantic dinner with little prep and lots of wow factor on a budget. Which means more money to spend on a romantic Valentine's Day gift!
Set the Mood with Extra-Fancy Appetizers
Since appetizers are meant to be small portions, they're a good place to go all out on luxury—and what's more luxurious than caviar? You can find several varieties at your local Whole Foods Market and have them delivered to your door through Prime Now. And while caviar is traditionally served atop blini with a dollop of creme fraiche, we love this playful take using root chips. Savings tip: Whole Foods frequently offers discounts for Prime Members. Check with your location.
Cut down on your prep work with a No Reservation Porterhouse Steak Package from Omaha Steaks. It comes with everything you need for a romantic dinner in for two, including two porterhouse steaks and lobster mac & cheese, with simple cooking instructions: just grill the steaks and pop the lobster mac & cheese in the oven. Savings tip: New customers can save $30 at Omaha Steaks.
Other options:
Shrimp Scampi: If pasta's more your thing, simply heat this dish up in a skillet.
The hard part is over. You have fed your beloved and they are appreciatively patting their stomachs while marveling at your cooking skills. But don't be fooled, the job isn't finished yet. You still need a dessert to end this entire night on a sweet note. Enter: chocolate-covered strawberries from Edible Arrangements. They taste decadent but are fruit-focused enough to cancel out any guilt. Savings tip:get up to 30% off Valentine's Favorites from Edible Arrangements.

No romantic dinner is complete without something to toast to your love with.
