So if you’ve been thinking about proposing to your lover but are on a budget, you’ll want to check this out.
Savvy shopper Rachel Platts took to social media to show off the cheap find, leaving many totally stunned.
Posting on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, a private Facebook group with a staggering 2.4 million members, Rachel shared a picture of the cheap Valentine’s rings and wrote: “See it doesn’t cost the earth to propose, ring in a box £1.50.”

Whilst someone else claimed: “If I’m not proposed to with one of these… I’ll be disappointed.”
Meanwhile, another user shared: “I’ve heard of lots of people using this ring for the proposal and going to choose something together later.”
