Romantic consumers who do not have much cash to spare may be interested in some handy money-savings tips from MSN Money, just in time for Valentine's Day.

With the effects of the recession still being felt it has meant that 59 per cent of people will be spending less on their loved one than they did last year, according to the website.

Simon Ward, MSN Money's senior editor, commented: "Despite the recent good news about the end of the recession, it seems we're still unwilling to splash out until we're certain things have really improved for the better."

In the meantime, some tips have been offered to make your money go further this Valentine's Day.

Using price comparison sites is a good way of finding the cheapest prices for goods like perfume, meaning you can still afford to splash out.

If you are looking for flowers, researching the cost in different shops can also help as big savings can be made.
