The slump in the economy has affected how some people celebrate Valentine's Day. Jacky Kalfass of Syracuse says "I won't be spending as much, usually I would do a huge basket for my husband, you know a 50 to 70 dollar basket."But other people say that candy is still an affordable luxury. "There really hasn't been a change in my buying habits this year for Valentine's Day," says Robert Cook of Syracuse.
Sam Martin of Syracuse says that he is addicted to both his wife and chocolate.

Store owners are too busy planning for the Valentine's Day rush to worry about whether there will be a fall in sales this year. The Sweet on Chocolate owner, Petit Jean Goodman says, "It's an exceptional amount of work, it's a relief for all of us when it is finally over."
No matter if you spend five dollars or ten dollars for your loved ones, says Terry Adriano, the owner of Hercules Candy Company, the thought is what really counts.
