The most bought things on Valentine’s Day are flowers, candies, fancy chocolates, cards, dinner out, and jewelry, according to Fox Business.

Because of all the gift buying, the holiday can have major impact on many businesses, some of which use promotions and create deals to save people money. They may also use unique advertising to catch people’s attention.

Bakersfield happens to be placed the sixth most affordable place in California to go to dinner.

With a wine bottle costing an average of $15 and a cab costing an average of $11.25 your date night would cost $81.25 together.”

Located on F Street in downtown Bakersfield, KC Steak House is one place couple can dine on Valentine’s Day. A staffer at the restaurant told The Rip that reservations for Valentine’s Day filled up a week before the holiday and that’s the day they “make the most money.’

Edible Arrangements also offer sweet gifts to give your Valentines. They vary from selling different items for each holiday or special occasions with unique arrangements and gift baskets that are made up of fresh and chocolate dipped fruit.
