If you need some motivation to round up your girlfriends for a Galentine's Day get together, let this collection of Galentine's Day deals and freebies be all of the encouragement you need. While of course your girlfriends are worth every penny, there's nothing quite like bonding over a great deal. So fire up the group chat, get everyone to commit to a hang, and take full advantage of the companies that want to make celebrating Galentine's Day as fun as affordable as can be.

There are so many different ways to celebrate the holiday devoted to female friendships, so to narrow down the choices, you'll want to check out the best deals and let the savings guide you. This year, Galentine's Day falls on Thursday, February 13, so you'll be a little bit limited for time. Opt to meet your girls for a post-work hang. You can do a full dinner, or just drinks, or dessert, or you can take advantage of some of the retail deals and exchange sweet treats instead.

If you feel like hosting, you can take advantage of some of the carry out or delivery deals so that you don't have to cook or stock up on supplies.

If you're not seeing a deal here that you hoped to see, try giving the local business a call and see if they're offering any deals that they haven't yet promoted. If they weren't planning on offering anything, your very inquire could inspire them to change their minds.
