It pays to “shop” and smell the roses. Roses are such a lovely way to celebrate just about every occasion from birthdays to anniversaries. However, there’s just one thorny part about roses: They can be a bit pricey. That’s why it’s good to know where you can pick up a dozen on the cheap.

If you’re looking for frugal flowers, the best price in town on a dozen roses is at Trader Joe’s — just $9.99. And that’s the regular price!
Most other grocery stores sell a basic dozen roses for $12 or more. Price and availability may vary by location.
At this low-price, make a grand gesture with a big bouquet of two dozen roses for under $20! There’s no way you could even get a single dozen for that price at most floral shops in town.

And, if you need a “cheap” vase, head to just about any thrift shop in town. You’re bound to find a vase for only a buck or two. Add some ribbon (from your holiday stash of gift wrap) and you’re all set with a “fancy” bouquet.
If you like to give roses — or spruce up a dining or coffee table with a bouquet — on the cheap, find the closest Trader Joe’s and make it a regular stop.
