Check out these easy tips for how to Save Money on Flower Arrangements…
So… I sent the hubby to the store the other day on a mission ~ I needed roses. 😉
Seriously I did ~ the boys had a project for science, and needed to ‘dissect’ a rose!
Hubs came back with the most gorgeous bouquet, and guess what… he only paid $3.00!! {yep ~ he’s a keeper!}
In the floral department at the grocery store, he kept finding pricey flower arrangements, so he asked at the counter if there were any better deals {good boy!} ~ and the gal shared a tip I never knew… ‘Day Old Flowers‘!
Just like ‘day old’ bakery items, she said if the flowers aren’t sold right away, they go into a special case behind the counter, and can be sold at a BIG discount!
Now, you may already know this… but it was news to me, so I had to share!
I’m not sure if all stores do this, and it might be hit-or-miss with what you’ll find… but if you’re looking for a thrifty bouquet to brighten up your table for a special dinner or event ~ it never hurts to ask!
I’ve got even more frugally romantic ideas to share with you. Get ready to be romantic… on a budget…

Fresh supply generally arrives on Mondays (at least in our city), so buy as close to then as possible, as they don’t last as long as those from a florist.

Go online find a local florist to where you want the flowers to go.
Call them directly! This will save the wire charge, plus you only pay their delivery charge. Use a credit card over the phone. And you get to find out exactly what the florist has.
BUT never wait until the last minute, do this several days to a week ahead.
I had a family who called me in NJ from Ohio at every holiday!
