At my grocery store they mark down a lot of the flower arrangements when they start getting a little wilty. Some of them are pretty sad looking, but others look just fine! Last week I got a nice bunch of fall mums for $2.50 (marked down from $12). Score! I will not spend more than $5 on a bouquet though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-350063 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:31:15 +0000 Meridian 350063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! If I see something pretty inexpensive, I'll usually pick up a bunch (especially tulips and daffodils in the spring!). </p> <p>During the summer, a lot of times after I work a wedding, I'll take home a centerpiece... or even the huge escort card table arrangement (if the bride was going to leave it at the venue), and then I'll dissect it turn it into 2 - 3 smaller arrangements! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-349977 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:03:08 +0000 Mrs. Pen 349977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: good call!! I'll look for a pot of flowers this week :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-349972 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:00:39 +0000 yin 349972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I think the last time I bought flowers was for Mother's Day, and they were for my MIL. I wish I could make them last longer to justify the cost of flowers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-349954 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 09:54:28 +0000 regberadaisy 349954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: ditto would love to but can't bear to spend the money. :)<br /> In our new house i would love to at least do that when we have company over. :D<br /> @mrsjyw: def plan to plant cutting flowers at the new house!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-349923 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 09:37:14 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 349923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>almost every week when it isn't green out my window.

I don't buy them often but if I need a little cheering up, I'll get a small bunch of tulips or sunflowers from the farmers market </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-347101 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 12:51:35 +0000 HLK208 347101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I looove flowers! I use to keep them in my house until DH's grandpa brought some over for me and umm the next day we had a fly infestation (ewwww). It was a sweet gesture! Thank god for pest control with a warranty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-347087 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 12:49:04 +0000 PurplePumps 347087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. They're pretty and all, but at the end of the day it always seems like a waste to me. I even told DH from day one of dating that I don't really care for flowers and not to waste his money on it cause they just die in a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-347068 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 12:45:38 +0000 prettylizy 347068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: this is why i send fruit baskets.

'so sorry for your loss. please accept this cat vomit as a token of my sympathy!' not so much =D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-347054 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 12:41:36 +0000 spaniellove 347054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There was a point when I decided to have flowers in the house as often as possible, so I try to pick up a bunch whenever I'm out grocery shopping. It usually ends up being alstroemerias (which last up to 2 weeks) or tulips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-347053 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 12:41:16 +0000 cheert16 347053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah sometimes. Only if its under $5.00 and I know they will last for awhile. Just makes me smile when I walk in my house! I also plant alot outside- so in the summer i use those blooms to brighten things up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-347030 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 12:32:30 +0000 Alivoo01 347030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but I wish we did. They really brighten up a place! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-346923 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 11:57:49 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 346923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love to get them, but I don't have them all the time. In the summer I cut them from my flower beds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-346834 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 11:42:04 +0000 Andrea 346834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rarely, too cheap!

But then they die and I get lazy and leave them a little bit too long.... They look beautiful when they're fresh though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-346807 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 11:37:47 +0000 Rescuemom10 346807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish, I have the cat issue too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-346790 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 11:34:55 +0000 Minnie_Girl 346790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did before we got pregnant and moved...now they don't fit into our frivolous budget so much, haha. These days silk flowers are my BFFs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-346785 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 11:34:05 +0000 mamabolt 346785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @mrs. bird: and @mrsjazz: My cat thinks any flowers we bring into the house are a delicious snack bar for her. We can put them on the mantle to keep them away from her, but anywhere else is fair game. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-346772 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 11:30:54 +0000 DillonLion 346772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just in the kitchen! Mostly when we have guests coming over, but sometimes I'll get them just for fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-346767 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 11:30:01 +0000 mrsjazz 346767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish. We just moved and there's a great florist on the corner of our block. When we bring flowers in the house, our cats eat them and puke, eat them and puke...it goes on until we finally throw the flowers out or they're completely eaten and puked onto the floor, whichever one comes first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-346757 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 11:27:18 +0000 Mrs. Pen 346757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: lol funny mental image!!</p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: aww I bet your house is lovely and happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-346744 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 11:25:35 +0000 mrs. bird 346744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my mom does at her house (or she cuts some from her gardens) &amp; i love it! so cheerful =) i don't because my cat is obsessed with flowers &amp; rips them apart to eat them =/ he's been enjoying the flowers other ppl have sent recently though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buys-flowers-for-your-house#post-346742 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 11:25:20 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 346742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I get flowers for the house every single week.
