Scripture to Live By:
O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
Psalms 105:1
I simply love flowers, but I really love getting flowers at a super bargain. I was at Lowe’s and they had their perennial plants on sale. I purchased ten Variegated Liriopes plants at .30 each (I can’t find my receipt but I know it was in the low .30 so I have rounded it off at .30 each). Total $3.00. They were normally $4.98 each. A saving of $46.80. I was so excited.
I was at Magic Mart a couple days later and they had their mums on sell for a $1.00 each. I bought eight of them. Total $8.00. They had also been $4.98. I saved $31.84 cents by waiting until the end of the season and they will come up next year.
What would have cost me $89.64, cost me all together $11.00.
I planted these in my front yard flower bed.
We will have to wait until next summer to see the beauty of them.
I can hardly wait to see what they will look like, but I can enjoy them more by just knowing that I purchased them at such a bargain price.
Some would say I am a tightwad, but I would say I am trying to be frugal in the way I spend.
Gotta love those bargains.
