I am in the mode of getting my hands dirty in my yard. Busy cleaning, preparing and soon to be planting! Yipee! The time has finally come! With that said, I am always trying to save some money on this fun job as well. I would love to hear how you save money on the purchase of your annual flowers?! This is one I struggle with. I love pots and pots and pots of flowers at my house, but the cost of the plants add up quickly. Suggestions welcome!
I am doing a little price comparison on potting soil and other fun outdoor necessities for this time of year, so thought I woud share them all with you. It was sort of an afterthought this week, so it is not a complete list, but will update as I go. Let us know if you have other prices available as well!
Prices in Red were updated 5/29/11. I am unsure of the end date of the other prices, so you may want to call ahead and verify first.

What other things would you like to see added to the list? I will keep a running list if this is something that interests you!
Sorry I don't have any suggestions for saving $$ when it comes to buying annuals. The way I see it, is that since I save so much on health & beauty aids by couponing, I *deserve* to splurge a little when it comes to flowers! It helps to have a May birthday, too. ;)
