Buying Flowers Cheap…If You Have The Time

It’s your girlfriend’s birthday this weekend and you are stuck for a gift.  What to do?  How about a nice arrangement of flowers and a little teddy bear and maybe a box of chocolates.  Boom, there goes $100 bucks and you still have to take her out to a nice restaurant and maybe a movie, there goes another $100 bucks.Flowers can get awfully costly if you need them at the last minute because you forgot.  This flower article will help you avoid making the same mistake next year so you can save a little money when you have to buy flowers again in the future.

Waiting til the last minute, or remembering at the last minute can cost you a lot of money.Flower arrangements that usally cost twenty bucks can go for forty to sixty bucks if you need them fast.  And forget about ordering them online and getting overnight delivery.You will pay sky high prices for shipping and delivery charges.  When you order flowers online next time, make sure you sign up for those reminder emails that they can send you in advance of the next upcoming event where you have to buy flowers so you can get it in time, order online, and save yourself some money. 

Place your flower order early and have them delivered later when you need them.  There was a special from Proflowers the other day I heard on the radio, if you ordered flowers in January, you could still have them delivered on Valentine's day or the Friday before and get a much lower price and a free vase.  The special was 18 roses for $29.  Compare that to the week of Valentine’s day price of $50-$60 for those same roses and that’s a nice chunk of change you can save.And when the vase can cost between ten and twenty dollars by itself, that can save you some dough…if you order early. 

Some sites also offer free shipping with a promo code, so do a search for promo codes before you place your order.  Shipping and delivery can cost $10-$15 standard so those codes can come in handy.
