Save Money on those Flowers for Mom

If you haven’t picked out that special card or ordered flowers yet,
we have some discounts that may help.
Flowers are always appreciated. We have listed three online flower
shops this week in our Senior Discounts Section that offer discounts and most of them can
deliver the next day. Check out that section below for more details. All of the online
flower retailers can be found on the SeniorDiscounts web site as well when searching
under the Online Retailers category.
If you would rather purchase flowers from a local florist, you will
find that many offer a senior discount. While we have some of these stores listed on our
web site, you can also look in your local yellow pages. Florists will sometimes advertise
a senior discount in their ads, but it is usually in small print.
Discounts on flowers at local stores will typically start at 10% and
some stores may only offer the discount on certain days of the week. Age requirements for
these discounts usually begin around 55 years of age but many small stores may not have a
specific age policy and will provide the discount as long as you ask for it.
Another great place to look for discounts is at your local nursery or
garden center. The large garden and home center chains typically do not offer a senior
discount but the local garden or home centers usually do, making their prices comparable
to the larger chains.
Senior discounts at these stores are typically 10% to 15%. Garden center
discounts are usually available to people 55 years of age and older. It is also common for
these discounts to only be available on certain days of the week, usually a Tuesday or
Wednesday.
You can search the SeniorDiscounts database for discounts related to
gardening and home centers in our retail and local services categories. If you do not see a
discount close to you, try calling some of the local stores in your area for their senior
discount information.
Happy Mother’s Day.
