Valentine's Day is one of those holidays that brings out the procrastinator in guys. And boy — any place that sells flowers knows this. The prices double at our local grocery store for flowers on Valentine's Day.
But I'll admit I don't get soaked for flowers on Valentine's Day for a couple of reasons, and it's not because I don't procrastinate. First, our wedding anniversary is Groundhog Day, so I can usually get by with a “two-fer” if I get flowers then. Second, I surprise my wife with flowers a few times throughout the year at random times. So, my wife doesn't expect flowers.
But let's say that you do want to get flowers for your lady the day of. That's fine! I doubt she'll complain. 🙂
If you shop on the Internet — and odds are, you do! — then it's easy to spend less on a nice arrangement of flowers than to order online through a rebate portal like Mr. Rebates. It's literally as easy as signing up and clicking through to one of well over a dozen online florists. Eleven of them have cash back rebates of 10% or more:
- Flora Flora, Organic Bouquet, and USA Florist have cash-back rebates of 10%
- 1800Florals.com, Florist.com, From You Flowers, and Proflowers.com have cash-back rebates of 12%
- FTD and Fleurop have cash-back rebates of 15%
- And 1800Flowers.com and TeleFlora currently have cash-back rebates of a full 18%!
Flowers aren't her thing? There are over 200 stores that have extra cash back through Valentine's Day at Mr. Rebates. Here are but a few:
- David's Cookies has 10% cash back
- FragranceNet.com has 10% cash back
- Ghirardelli Chocolates has 10% cash back
- ICE.com has 12% cash back
- Perfumania has 10% cash back
- See's Candles has 7% cash back
- Yves Rocher has a whopping 30% cash back
Again, there are over 200 stores with extra cash back. That's only part of the over two thousand stores that participate with Mr. Rebates! The best part? It costs nothing to join, and they'll stock your rebate account with $5 just for signing up.
So spend a little time now to find the best way to show your Valentine how much you care, and avoid paying through the nose the day of. Your buck is worth more bang than that! 😉
