				Florists that Offer the Best Services and Prices
Buying a floral arrangement is like buying art. You’ll want a florist whose use of color and flower types fits your individual taste. This is even more important if you are spending thousands of dollars on blooms for a wedding or other special occasion. Here’s how to pick the best.
Where to Buy Flowers for Less
If you want delivery, exotic flowers, or need advice, your best bet is a florist. But if you’re willing to pick up the posies yourself and want to save a lot of money, you have several other options.
Need to Have Flowers Delivered Out of Town?
When you need to send flowers to someone outside the area, what do you do? We review the options, and advise you on how to deal with each to ensure you and your special someone on the other end are happy with the results.
Which Grocery Stores Offer the Best Prices?
Our ratings of stores in seven metro areas report how each stacks up for price and quality. To compare prices, our researchers used a 150 item list of common items to shop area options. To evaluate stores on quality of products and service, we surveyed area consumers.
How do Trader Joe’s, ALDI’s, and Lidl’s Prices Compare?
ALDI and Lidl focus on low costs, and our survey found their prices to be astonishingly inexpensive—ALDI has prices lower even than Walmart and warehouse clubs. Trader Joe’s also offers lower prices than most supermarket chains, while earning mostly high accolades from its customers.
How Much Will You Save on Groceries by Joining a Warehouse Club?
If you’re willing to buy in bulk, you’ll usually save by shopping at a warehouse club—but only if you go often enough to justify their membership fees. And you won’t save anything if you throw out half of what you buy.
