Gardening…it’s one of my spring and summer passions. I enjoy planting flower and veggie gardens outside and indoors I grow about 35 houseplants. I wouldn’t say that I have a “green thumb” but I do have moderate gardening experience.
During this time of the year I often make houseplant starters for myself and friends. It’s one way I keep the cost down when it comes to growing my own houseplants. I also enjoy it when friends give me starters from their plants.
Last week I went into Hobby Lobby to get some general craft supplies. I decided to browse through the gardening section of the store and stumbled across gorgeous pottery gardening planters. They’re a really nice size and heavy-duty. Nothing cheap or flimsy about them.
The sticker on the bottom originally had them priced at $24.99 each. Then marked down to $17.99 each. Another markdown to $12.99 each and finally….a whopping $4.49 each. Say what? Yes! Now that’s my type of bargain! I grabbed the last 2 that they had in a color scheme that would work in my home. Beautiful!!!
They don’t have drainage holes at the bottom so you’ll need to add your own gravel or crushed-up seashells in the bottom of each one before adding your potting soil or dirt. I also recommend that you place a clear glass planter plate or plastic liner underneath them to help protect your surfaces. In my honest opinion, beautiful for indoor houseplants or put plants inside them for your front porch or back deck.
It’s always fun to come across frugal finds and bargain deals. Especially in today’s economy. Have you found any great deals lately? If so, what did you find and where did you get it?
These are very pretty. You are so good at finding deals. I still do not go into many stores so I can’t find bargains there.
I didn’t find any deals in stores, but a friend brough me some lavender plants and a small lilac tree that she got from a plant exchange. What a good deal on your planters and a nice color.
There is nothing better then finding a good deal when out shopping. If I see something marked down I will get and if I don’t need or what ever it goes in my drawer for gifts ro giveaways
That was a good deal. Congratulations. I had a friend that was giving away magazines. I was looking thru them and there was an adult coloring book that had never been used. I asked her about it and she told me to take it for free. That will be a nice gift for my DIL.
Wow these are so pretty I love the color of these and $4.99 is my kind of price. We have a Hobby Lobby here but I haven’t found these kinds of deals there yet. I haven’t found any frugal finds lately but I am always on the lookout.
