I do love Costco for some of my spring, summer and fall bulbs. I have never had a problem with them and I really do love the price and the quantity.
One of my favorite flowers is the Liatris. This bag was $12.99 and it comes with 100 bulbs. The last time I bought this was at my old house and there were so many bulbs that I could not figure out where else to possibly put them. Then of course they are perennials, so they multiplied every year. So here is my math for $12.99. I need Hostas and Ferns for my back yard and I know I have friends that have some extras, so in exchange I will give thema few bulbs.
This other bag, the big blue one, was $19.99. It contains only 15 bulbs but it has some plants that I have been looking for. The best part is the plants have lots of color and they have different bloom times, keeps your yard interesting for more than a month. I am willing to start spending money on these products because I have finally come to terms with the fact that I have half a shade yard in the backyard. Instead of spending money on things I hope will grow I will finally break down and buy the things I know will grow and again they are perennials, so it’s a great investment.
With the economy the way it is, it seems like everyone is cutting back and trying hard not to spend money aimlessly on things. I think this is great. This is something that many people have needed to do for years now. But with so many blogs out there filled with all types of money saving tips, which I too will share, there comes a point where you feel guilty buying something that you truly want or enjoy, but you need to know, it's ok to splurge every now and then.
