How to Save Money on Mother's Day Flowers

by eHow Holidays & Celebrations Editor

Instructions

  • Step 1:
    Call around to local florists and ask if they're running any Mother's Day specials. The holiday is one that florists capitalize on, so they're likely to offer some deals.
  • Step 2:
    Pay attention to signs. Around Mother's Day, florists will advertise their discounted specials with signs on the outside of their shop. It may be a bouquet of roses for $10 cash and carry.
  • Step 3:
    Compare prices. There's nothing wrong with pricing similar bouquets at a few florists before placing your order. Tell the florist what type of bouquet you're looking for and how many stems you'd like.
  • Step 4:
    Check out the selection at your grocery store. Grocery stores are getting bigger and better floral departments. They employ knowledgeable florists to help you in making a selection. The flowers are often cheaper because the company orders them in bulk for all their stores.
  • Step 5:
    Stop by a farmers' market to get a wild flower bouquet. They're grown locally and can cost as little as $5 each.
  • Step 6:
    Redeem a coupon to save money. Hallmark offers a 15 percent off coupon online for Mother's Day flowers.
  • Step 7:
    Save money by forgetting the vase. Mom has tons of vases, anyway. You'll get more for your money if you buy cut flowers instead of an arrangement.

Tips & Warnings

  • Add more greenery to the arrangement to cut down on the cost.
