Is there ANYWHERE I can buy (cheap) just a few flowers so I can arrange them myself?

I usually arrange about 15 medium vases and 5 large vases per week. I want the wholesale price, because I'll be a regular customer, without the huge quantity. I'm a one-lady charity service (I give the flowers away to sick %26amp; forgotten). I live in Dallas, though I'd love to order over the internet...I order my supplies that way...

Wow. what a terrific thing you are doing. I would try Cos co or Sam's Club and Greenhouses. If you do bulk buying, I don't see why they wouldn't work on the price for you. Tell them you are doing it for charity too! Good luck!
Reply:Over the internet...I'm not sure. Here in CT you can go in most grocery stores to get flowers that you can arrange yourself.
Reply:there are lots of places on the internet -- i have gotten orchid sprays and anthuriums in bulk for pretty cheap. just google. they ship directly from the grower -- so its cheap for you.
Reply:Go to the grocery store at night. They usually discount the flowers in the evenings...also ask them when they get rid of the flowers (there might be one night a week). You might be able to pick them up free! And they will still be in decent shape.





I know it's not over the internet, but hey! if you want cheap stuff...





EDIT: Ok, you confuse me. Your question says "just a few flowers" and "without the huge quantity". Anyway, it's nice that you are giving the flowers as charitable donations. Good job.
Reply:the cheapest i know is food basics/ no frills etc.





well u can talk to the manager of the store. because these people take off the flowers after 2 to 3 days though the flowers look fresh.


u can talk to the manager so that he will sell u for cheaper price instead of throwing them in garbage.


he might understand ur social cause
Reply:Go to a local florist and ask them their suppliers name! If the first one doesn't give you the name. ask others.
