Nothing seems to perk up a home like fresh flowers, but I've found they're often too expensive to enjoy on a regular basis. Except for springtime! You can find wonderful bouquets and bunches of fresh flowers at WalMart or your local grocery store right now-- and they won't break the bank either. Today I discovered bunches of fresh tulips at WalMart for $5 a piece. Fifteen dollars later, they are brightening up my kitchen island, … [Read more...]
