Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and if you are wanting to save more money than spend this year, you might be struggling with what to do for your partner.
We all want to show our love and appreciation, but fancy dinners can cost a fortune these days.
This is why I love being a member of BJ's Wholesale Club. I recently scored a pack of Nuovo Pasta Red Heart Shape Cheese Ravioli, 26 oz., for $10.99 at BJ's and paired it with some Rao's homemade sauce for an epic Valentine's Day dinner that made my partner speechless. And the best part? It only cost me $11!
First things first, you need to make sure you have a BJ's membership. If you don't, don't worry; you can easily sign up online through my exclusive link for $20.
Once you have your membership, head straight to the refrigerator food section and grab a pack of Nuovo Pasta Red Heart Shape Cheese Ravioli. Trust me; this will be the star of your Valentine's Day dinner. Not only is it heart-shaped, but it's also cheese-filled, and who doesn't love cheese?
This same item is only $9.99 at Costco if you have a Costco membership.
Next, head to the canned goods aisle and look for Rao's homemade sauce. I went with the Vodka sauce, but you can choose any flavor you and your partner love. Not only is Rao's known for its quality, but it's also affordable at BJ's. And the best part? It tastes like you made it from scratch.
Now, let's talk about how to cook this masterpiece. Boil a pot of salted water and add the ravioli. Cook them for 4-5 minutes or until they float to the top.
While the ravioli is cooking, heat the sauce in a separate pan or microwave. Once the ravioli is cooked, drain the water and add the sauce to the pot. Mix it together, and your gourmet Valentine's Day dinner is ready.
You can add some garlic bread, salad, or wine to make it even more special. But trust me, the ravioli and sauce are so delicious that they will be enough to impress your partner. And for only $11, you can't go wrong.
If you want to treat your partner to a gourmet Valentine's day dinner without breaking the bank, head to BJ's wholesale club and score a pack of Nuovo Pasta Red Heart Shape Cheese Ravioli and Rao's homemade sauce.
Not only will you save money, but you will also have a delicious meal that you both will love. Happy Valentine's day!
