Valentines day
« on: February 14, 2018, 04:08:15 PM »
Maybe i've been living in a cave, but I drove down a main street here to see dozens of corner vendors with uhaul trucks selling flowers, huge teddy bear baskets looking like shalach manos etc.. its like israel before sukos with the whole world selling shtik.

What is the valentines day craze ? im pretty integrated in society but goodness this is nuts, every supermarket is flooded

I wouldn't know. Never done either (and I would guess that same answer would apply to many 'round here).

ALL that savings is burned up in a frum wedding. The $20 teddy bear is a steal.

Does buying candy for 90% off on 2/15 count?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

If you are giving it as a valentines gift, yes. I would not recommend you do that.  :)
