"He was so cheap," comedian George Burns once joked, "that instead of bringing his date flowers, he brought her seeds."

Ba-DOOOM-boom! But seriously, folks ...

Valentine's Day is coming right up, and it's no holiday for the frugal. Last year, Americans (mostly guys) spent about $19 billion on gifts, candies, dinners and whatever else they could get their hands on to help them get their hands on their significant other. That works out to about $175 a person.

Yikes.

Luckily for you penny-pinchers still hoping to pinch ... well, whatever it is you want to pinch ... your pals at 94.5 KATS are there for you.

Send us an example of just how cheap (OK, thrifty -- have it your way) you can be, and we just might pick you to be the winner of a $250 Dunbar Jewelers gift card!

That time you told everybody you'd forgotten (riiiiight) your wallet? Figuring you could paint your own car with a coupla cans of Krylon rather than paying to have a professional body shop do the work?

Yeah. You're our boy.

So keep all that Coinstar money for yourself this Valentine's Day, go tap into your neighbor's wifi and tell us how tightfisted you really are.

Fill out the entry form below by 9 a.m. Friday (Feb. 12) -- or turn it in on behalf of some cheapskate friend of yours. We'll announce the winner on the Todd & Andy Show between 9 and 10 that morning.

(And yes, it's FREE.)
