Valentine’s Day and roses: They go together like peanut butter and jelly, like Dora and Boots, like brownies and… more brownies.
I bet when you think of a dozen beautiful Red Roses in a vase, a grocery store isn’t the first thing that comes to your mind! This year many of us are having to look for ways to pinch pennies on all of our needs! Don’t let the economy put a damper on your Valentine’s Day Celebration!
Harris Teeter in Boone, just happens to feature a full-service florist right in the store! They can do wonderful flower arrangements for any occasion, from weddings to funerals to dance recitals. And they will be stocked with red roses, ready for your Valentine next weekend!
In fact, twelve years ago, Judd and I chose Harris Teeter flowers for our wedding! We had a very limited budget, and they did a beautiful job providing just the right blooms for our December wedding.![]()
Last week, I wrote about how I save at least half on my groceries, and I shop exclusively at Harris Teeter. Two programs in which they participate, help our kids in their education! With the Together in Education program, HT donates a portion of your purchase to the school of your choice when you use your VIC card. You have to tell the cashier, once each school year, to link your card to the school.
Upromise.com donates a portion of qualifying purchases to a college fund for your child, niece/nephew, grandchild, or friend! Go to www.upromise.com for all the details!
And now, for the giveaway!

My favorites are any that don’t have a strong smell. I like to enjoy my flowers without sneezing. So, I would have to say that Roses are right up there at the top of my list!
