Living better, spending less.
Bulbsdirect.com has 80 bulbs on sale for $9.99 with free shipping, and 80 free bulbs. That’s 160 bulbs for $10! Sounds like a good deal to me. :)
The package contains:
Presumably, that’s all times two for the free ones.
I don’t think I’ll take advantage of this particular deal because my yard is currently a disaster area, what with the fallen trees from this winter’s ice storms and Hurricane Ike (all the way up here in Kentucky, it caused our biggest, prettiest tree to fall!) I don’t think I have time to deal with planting 160 bulbs, though I might regret it. The previous owners apparently enjoyed gardening, but it suffered from a long period of neglect before we moved in, and we have spent three years pulling down vines, cleaning and generally wresting our yard back from Mother Nature. We were just making progress when the trees started falling. Now that Evelyn is old enough to be outside with us while we work on things, we’re hoping to be able to get a little more done this year than we did last year. Next year, maybe I can buy more bulbs! Until then, I have my hands full with the bulbs we have that need some serious TLC.
When I became a stay-at-home-mom, I promised I could save our family money by shopping sales and maybe even using a few coupons. I had no idea what I was getting into. These days, I am on a first-name basis with the cashiers at the local drugstores, I haven't paid for toothpaste or shampoo in over a year and I spend my free time here, helping others do the same. So please, make yourself at home while you learn how to save, and when to spend!

Is it wrong that I am almost absurdly happy that I caused someone to spend money? But not much, at least! :) I hope you enjoy your new flowery yard. :)
