YOUR GUIDE TO THE TWIN CITIES
Poinsettias for $3.49 at Aldi but don't wait
Posted by: John Ewoldt under Gardening and landscaping Updated: November 23, 2009 - 3:07 PM
If you've ever bought fresh flowers at Aldi, you know that the best day to buy is the first day. Quite frankly, the Aldi employee doesn't pay much attention to them. Today is only day two of the sale, but trust me all of the poinsettias worth buying will all be gone by end of the day Wednesday (if not today). I's suggest that you call before heading out, but if you're an Aldi shopper you know better. Aldi doesn't have phones in its stores. Heck, even their regional vice-presidents don't have business email accounts. They're using Hotmail or Gmail addresses.
If they're sold out you can always check the Balck Friday deals at local nurseries or hardware stores, which frequently have them as door busters. If you want to pay a lot more, wait until the wholesale clubs get them in. They may be $20 or so but they're big, showy plants.
