Sometimes, the most romantic Valentine’s Day plans happen at home, especially when they involve good food and a little effort.

If you’re on a tight budget this February, Trader Joe’s is your best friend since you can find all sorts of indulgent treats that feel special but won’t blow your budget.

Here are six little luxuries from Trader Joe’s that are perfect for Valentine’s Day.

Dark Chocolate Ganache Mini Sheet Cake

• Price: $5.49

If Valentine’s Day had an official dessert, this might be it. Trader Joe’s dark chocolate ganache mini sheet cake is rich and chocolatey and just the right size for two people. Plus, there’s no need to refrigerate it since the re-closeable lid helps to keep it fresh for up to six days. So if you’re planning a picnic for Valentine’s Day, bring this sheet cake with you to surprise your date. 

Dozen Red Roses

• Price: $10.99

Roses are a must for Valentine’s Day and you can get a dozen of them for just slightly over $10 at Trader Joe’s. Their flowers are known for lasting longer than expected, too, which means you’re not paying for something that wilts by the weekend.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

• Price: $3.29

Trader Joe’s chocolate-covered strawberries are one of their best-selling frozen treats of all time, so make sure to grab them for Valentine’s Day. You can serve them slightly thawed with a glass of wine or simply open the box and enjoy as many pieces as you want. 

Wine 

• Price: $7.99

Speaking of wine, Trader Joe’s also has a pretty solid wine selection and many of them taste far more expensive than they are. For example, the Moon X red wine has a smooth and fruit-forward flavor that’s perfect for Valentine’s night in. It’s produced in California and is sold exclusively at Trader Joe’s. 

Cocoa Truffles

• Price: $4.49

These cocoa truffles are a longtime Trader Joe’s favorite for a reason. They’re rich and dusted in cocoa powder and also not over-the-top sweet. Plus, the packaging looks gift-able straight off the shelf so you won’t need to wrap it up to gift to your loved one. 

Heart-Shaped Macarons 

• Price: $5.99

If you want something that looks straight out of a French bakery, Trader Joe’s limited edition heart-shaped macarons are the perfect choice to treat your sweetheart’s sweet tooth this Valentine’s Day. Each box comes with four white heart-shaped vanilla crème Macarons and four pink heart-shaped raspberry Macarons. They come frozen, so you can thaw as many as you need and add them to your Valentine’s Day dessert platter.
