Friday Finds: Long-Lasting Bouquets From Trader Joe's



While we were in a nearby town recently, we stopped at Trader Joe's. While there, I bought a small, inexpensive bouquet of Trader Joe's lovely flowers. 


16 Days Old And Still So Sweet

I'm shocked to say those flowers look almost as pretty today (16 days later) as they did the day I bought them!



As always, this is my personal opinion based on my experience. I receive no payments or products for my endorsements. I am just flabbergasted at how long these lovely little flowers have lasted!



I placed the bouquet in a quart jar on a tray by the kitchen sink with this little soap dispenser shaped like a bee skep. I don't remember exactly where I bought it, but it is so darn cute!





That gave me a chance to add this cute little bee dish towel, which highlights the colors of the kitchen cabinets and counters.




I've been amazed at how long these flowers have lasted as usually the flowers I buy at the floral shops in our local Albertsons and Kroger barely last 2 or 3 days...and cost twice as much!




When I sent a text to my daughters with photos of the flowers, Youngest Daughter replied that she bought some cut Hydrangeas at her local Trader Joe's a while back. She said those flowers also lasted over 2 weeks.

I'll definitely buy my bouquets at Trader Joe's in the future and skip the local floral sections. How about you? Where do you have the best luck buying your flowers? 



Thanks for dropping by!

  1. Well I never buy flowers, oops. But I love your bee cloth. I recently bought a cushion with 3 bees embroidered on it which I really like.

    1. I usually don't buy them either, but I do believe they help sell a house so I'm making sure we have them displayed.

  3. Thanks for the reminder that I need to get to T J's. I have finished planting my container deck garden, but it will be some time before I have flowers to cut. You are killing me with that bee skep soap dispenser. So adorably cute!

    1. I agree. See Kris down below. She reminded me it is from Home Goods if you're looking for one.

  4. They are so beautiful. That is so awesome that they last this long. I wonder what their secret is. Love your bee theme by the sink. I think I have seen that soap dispenser with soap at Home Goods. Next time I see one I am going to grab it.
    Have a great Memorial Day. Thank you for your Service before you retired.
    Hugs,
    Kris

    1. Yes! I think I did buy it at Home Goods now that you've reminded me. I didn't retire, I did 4 and a half years in the Air Force then got out to go to school. I love the AF and would've stayed in, but the ex wanted to get out so we did.

  7. Unfortunately, we do not have Trader Joe's down here. Those flowers look great. The cloth reminded me of a tray cloth I embroidered when still at school with bees on it. Made me wonder what happened to it.

  9. we don't have trader joe here and i hope they will consider putting one here.
    Regarding my last post about being sad that grands weren't little but happy they were doing so well in adult life....I count my blessing every day and thank God for them every night.

  12. We don't have a Trader Joe's here, but our daughter absolutely loves that store for everything. Between Costco and Trader Joe's she does just about all her shopping. We don't have a Costco's either, LOL Carolo of Art and Sand always buys her flowers there and they always look so pretty. I wonder how we can get a Trader Joe's in our town? Have a sweet day and thank you for your kind comment on my blog.
    God bless you and your hubby.

  13. TJ's flowers are indeed the best. We have to always stop when we're visiting the kids!

  14. I’m going to TJ’s on Thursday for flowers because I have a tea party that I’m hosting on Friday for a big group. They do have the best flowers!
