If you feel like you haven't had enough time to breath since the big Holiday season - you and I are in the same boat. It seems like we get one over with and then another one comes around. With Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years over - the next big money holiday is fast approaching. Any idea what it is? Valentines Day!

If you are in Baltimore you are probably wondering where you can get the most bang for your buck in terms of florists and sadly I can't help you. There are just way to many to choose from. You couldn't have enough Valentines Days (or fights) to even give them all a shot. So what to do? Try out an online florist like 1-800-Flowers and see how far your money can go. You get the prices of the items up front so you will not have to ask someone at the counter how much every single thing is - and in many cases you can get FREE shipping to keep the element of surprise. It is a win - win, right? On top of this they offer great customer support and if your experience is not right - they will make it right. See if a local guy will do that for you (without sending him right to the poor house). If you have never tried ordering flowers online - now might be a good time.

DON'T FORGET: You can also get a 15% rebate (or more) on your 1-800-Flowers purchase by shopping through MrRebates when placing your order. If you are not already a member of MrRebates it is free to join (you will actually get $5 just for signing up). You can get money back on all of your purchases you place online when using the service. Just make sure to click from MrRebates to the store you want to shop at (there is a list and a search on the site) and watch that cash build up.
