Save Big This Valentine's Day 2026 with These Fast-Food Deals

As Valentine’s Day spending is set to surpass a new record in the U.S., reaching nearly $30 billion this year, a handful of the country’s foremost fast-food chains are running irresistible deals throughout the weekend.

Valentine's Day Spending to Hit All-Time High in 2026

According to an NRF survey, celebrants are planning to spend an average of $200 on their Valentine’s Day festivities this year. That’s up from an average of $189 in 2025. The increased cost of celebrating makes sense, with 56 percent planning to ring in the holiday with candy purchases and a further 39 percent planning a meal out: candy costs have risen about 10 percent in the last year, and the cost of dining out has climbed 4.1 percent, per data from the most recent Consumer Price Index report.

These Deals Will Ease the Financial Pressure

A 2026 Valentine's Day Spending Survey conducted by WalletHub found that 40 percent of consumers believe that the holiday is too expensive. If you’re worried about spending too much on Valentine’s Day this year, these fast-food discounts will help ease the pain.
