| Roses on the Cheap |
Instead of paying crazy prices for roses this year, look for alternative places to buy them on the cheap. Aldi, the limited assortment grocery chain, is offering the lowest price we've seen for roses around Valentine's Day -- just $9.99 for a dozen starting February 8th at select stores. (My local Aldi already has bouquets of five roses for only $3.99.) If no Aldi is near you, try Wal-mart where the chain is advertising a dozen for $15 starting Sunday, 2/5. Don't expect long stem roses for this price.
Through Saturday, Walgreens has five vitamins/supplements worth over $60 free after rebate. Here is the rebate form, so you can see the products. (Ignore "certificate error" warning.) All rebates can be submitted online -- no postage necessary. And while you're there, eggs are only 99 cents a dozen.
