Linh here. And a little over a week ago, I got married! (I'll have more on that in a later newsletter.)
Yes, but: One thing I learned while wedding planning is what I call the Trader Joe's Friday Flower Flurry.
Details: On a budget, I hit TJ's early Friday for flowers, but so did everyone else.
It was packed (hello, wedding and grad season), and white flowers vanished instantly. Even oranges were scarce for Valley's graduation weekend.
The bottom line: The cashier told me that every Friday morning is chaos by the flowers. But they also have restrictions on how many buckets and multiples of each kind you can buy, so other people also have a shot!
After spending around $200, I had my bouquet and flowers for 22 tables.
