FIELD OF FLOWERS

.

Five stars for Field of Flowers on this Teacher Appreciation Week. I went into this location earlier in the week with my seven-year, Katherine, to buy a single stem at the direction of my wife Jennifer. Apparently, each of my daughter's second grade classmates were to buy a single stem and bring it to school to be added to a vase. With 16 students, the vase would be full and - supposedly - Mrs. P at the Sagemont Lower School in Weston would feel appreciated. I wanted to go to Publix. After all, a flower is a flower. Why should I spend extra money at a flower boutique when the flower is going to die in a few days anyway??? I even though of the Dollar Store. After all, I needed just a single stem to mix with the other kids flowers. Upon arrival at the store, Kate switched up and decided she wanted to purchase more than a single stem. This could get a little pricey I thought... Being helped by Michelle, I advised that I forgot my coupons at home. She inquired whether I had a Groupon or just a dollars off coupon. I stated that it was a dollars off coupon. After Kate picked something in the $40 range for her teacher, Michelle and quot;foundand quot; a 20% off coupon for me to use. It's all about customer service and saving money in a tough economy. I was hopeful to save money in spite of the much higher purchase than suggested by my wife. $8 is $8 and while my daughter complains that I won't shop without coupons, my savings throughout the year helps pay her private school tuition. /s/ William E.
