Bargain of the Week
Bargain Flowers
UPDATE: Whole Foods is advertising two dozen roses for $19.99 for Amazon Prime members only. With Valentine's Day next week, most flower sellers are busy marking up prices. But there are a few places you can still get a deal. During the year, Trader Joe's only charges $8.99 for a dozen roses. On Thursday, they will introduce a premium bouquet of roses "on sale" at a higher price. And Aldi is another good place to check for flower bargains -- with a dozen roses for $9.99 this week. Lastly, Costco and supermarkets can offer decent deals too, but not as cheap.
