Yup, only the third week of June and already Jewel is dumping their garden center inventory; it’s especially upsetting since they put up those centers long before it’s advisable to plant in Chicago, global-warming or not. I picked up lots of veggie plants on Saturday using two $5 Floral Department Flavor Adventure coupons and when I got another one last night I headed over to see what was still available. Not very much, as it turns out, but I took all the vegetable plants remaining (27) and paid $2.22. I’m pleased and boy are we gonna have – hopefully – some great meal additions.
I did the same today, selection in Countryside was poor and only 50% off, but I got a few small cheap decorative plants to fill up a few empty spots in the yard. If the floral coupons can be combined, I plan on using them later for the nicer indoor house plants.
My 75% stock-up on Saturday used 2 of the $5 Floral Dept coupons without any trouble
