Those of you from Colorado know King Soopers

I hated grocery shopping until now,King Soopers (most of them) have a discount area which sometimes you have to discover hidden in the back but the floral department throws their wilted plants or special occasion plants back there only to be left to die.I take advantage of this;they aren’t back there because of disease or bugs they are just extras from Christmas,valentines and so forth as well as just the way they look or because they have been knocked around(found a few with little dirt).So next time you go shopping there check out the discount,I have bought atleast 12 plants so far for under $4…even my orchid which sold for $30 originally and the least I have spent was $.50..I call them my “pocket change plants.”
I noticed even Walmart started doing this only their plants are still in the garden center and do a bit better and all are $1.50.
Hope this helps add to everyones collection.
woooohooo cheap plants!

There's nothing like a bargain. I'm glad you rescued the plants.
