Any flower delivery deals for Mother's Day?

[caribear]

I would like to send my grandma some flowers for Mother's Day and wanted to see if anyone has found any "budget" deals. I've seen some deals for 1-800 flowers, but prices are still high....either you have free shipping/delivery or $10-$15 off the price (which is around the same price as delivery anyway!). Thanks!

Your best bet would be to Google a florist near your Grandmothers house and order from them directly. Do not go with any of the big guys, like ProFlowers or 1800Flowers, otherwise:

I agree with the PP. My grandmother lives in a small town so I just call (actually did about 15 minutes ago!) and order an arrangement. I can customize/spend what I want and there is not a big middle man mark up plus I can support a local business.

Personally, I love ProFlowers and have used them many, many times. I just ordered my mom flowers a few days ago from them. Living Social had a $30 credit for $15. I went through Ebates and got back 12%. Then, I picked the sale peruvian lilies (love, love, love them) for $19.99. After applying the discount and the shipping charges, my total owed was $5.23. So, I paid $20.23 for delivered flowers that will be absolutely gorgeous.

so when you buy the $15 for 30, did you get a code to use? can you use it right away?

There is no better way to tell someone we care than with fresh flowers! When we send flowers online, our gift will have that personal touch no matter how far we are from our recipient. Flowers can make them us feel so special. We never valued the mother love and care so flowers make her so simile and happy. On Mother's Day, Many companies provides various special discount offers.
