Phil's Financial Tip of the Day:
Know when to put your foot down!
For years I had been ordering flowers for my wife from Pro Flowers on Valentine's Day.
By habit, I once again started to order a dozen Valentine's Day flowers from them after being pelted with e-mail after e-mail. I got to the check out online and was about to hit confirm when I came out of my zombie state. I realized the dozen roses with ruby vase and chocolate advertised for $39.99 would cost me $62. What got me was the $4.95 for Monday delivery. That is when I put my foot down!
I am blessed to have a wife is as sensible as I am and she totally agreed. While shopping at Wal Mart this past weekend, we came across dozens of beautiful roses for $15. I told her to pick out two dozen so she got a pink and red selection.They are blooming awesomely right now. With tax, it came out to $32.
Even though Pro Flowers has handled every order I have made in the past in a timely manner and even though their customer service is second to none(they once gave me a free order when the flowers delivered didn't last a week fresh like they guarantee), I had to put my foot down this time!
Total Savings= $30
