Valentine\u2019s Day arrives just in time to add some sparkle to a dreary time of year. There\u2019s no better place than Costco to start your Valentine\u2019s Day shopping. Whether you plan to spend the day with a special someone, family, or friends, the warehouse has you covered for savory and sweet treats perfect for the occasion. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
And while sparkly diamonds, a romantic getaway<\/a>, and dozens of red roses<\/a> can all be purchased at Costco, I\u2019ve put together a more affordable list of little luxuries to treat your loved one (or yourself!) to. Here are six red and romantic finds from Costco that are all $10 or less. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Chocolate is the ultimate Valentine\u2019s Day sweet. These dark chocolate candies are an upgrade over the standard grocery store chocolate variety pack. The melt-in-your-mouth Godiva chocolates are filled with rich ganache and formed into the shape of a heart. Pop a few in your mouth and use the rest to top festive brownies<\/a> for sharing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Ruby-red strawberries are fragrant again just in time for Valentine\u2019s Day. Chocolate-dipped strawberries<\/a> are a classic (and a kid-friendly) Valentine\u2019s treat, or try something different by dipping them into chocolate fondue<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n These red velvet cakes<\/a> are larger than a standard cupcake<\/a> and smaller than a layer cake<\/a>, making them the perfect size for sharing with your valentine. The red cake is light, fluffy, and covered in a swirl of Costco\u2019s sweet cream cheese frosting. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Making dinner at home is more romantic than jostling for a reservation on one of the industry\u2019s busiest nights of the year. Some couples prefer a steakhouse<\/a> vibe (Costco has you covered here too!), but a bowl of steamed mussels<\/a> in a buttery wine sauce with crusty bread makes my heart flutter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n On Valentine\u2019s Day, make it a point to eat something pink or red for every meal of the day. Start with a pale pink smoothie<\/a> for breakfast, lobster tails<\/a> for dinner, and a ruby-hued beet salad<\/a> for lunch. These beets are recipe-ready, as they are already cooked and peeled. Simply slice into wedges or rounds and toss them with your favorite vinaigrette, some soft cheese, and leafy greens. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n What little luxuries are you stocking up on at Costco right now?
