$3, people! A nice way to treat your sweetie to a frugal Valentine's Day! If I wasn't donating blood like a sucker I'd be there 2/6, but hopefully I can make 2/13.

HI,

Thanks for posting on this. I remember when they began having a chocolate festival around Valentine's Day. It was so over subscribed, they were metering candy to everyone.

Regards,

I'll have to tell my friend Rob who joined us on the first Plethora of Pies, since he was the one who alerted me. If it wasn't for him I never would have remembered.
