Irony

I have no problem remembering to bring my reusable grocery bags to Aldi (which charges you for grocery bags), but I always forget to take them into Harris Teeter... or Target... or Walmart... or every other store that gives away free bags?

Must. Do. Better.

Frugal flowers for Valentine's day

You don't have to pay $$$$$ for flowers for your Hunny on Valentine's Day. It's easy to get lovely, quality flowers for a price that keeps something in your wallet for Feb. 15 and beyond.

For your blooms, try your local grocery store. Aldi has flowers for $3.99/bunch. Put 2 or 3 together for a showstopper bouquet.

Or try your local farmer's market. In my town, you can pick up gorgeous bouquets at the farmer's market for way less than a florist's V-day mark-up.

Once you have your flowers, visit your local thrift store for a kickin' vase. Like these (especially the cute curvy one in the center):



The price:




Yes, that says $1.99. Can't beat that!
