Hello, hello!
As we transition to Autumn, you might be feeling that familiar itch to refresh your home with seasonal touches. But buying new decor for every season really adds up, in terms of spending AND clutter.
According to the National Retail Federation, Halloween-related spending hit a record high in 2023—at 12.5 billion—with the average consumer spending $108! Frightful. That $$ could go a long way invested in something that lasts for more than a season—like affordable term life insurance.
We like Ladder for their great rates, and the ability to change coverage on the same policy when your needs change throughout life! **
But, we’re also fans of enjoying the little things in life, so if plants are how you like to care for yourself and decorate your home, we’ve got you!
Here’s our top three ways to save money on fall plants and give your space a cozy makeover! 🍃
🪴 3 Ways to Save Money on Plants
1. Shop clearance. 🏷️ Start by checking out the clearance racks at your local garden centers. As stores shift from summer to fall inventory, you can find high-quality plants at discounted prices. Look for versatile fall plants like mums or ornamental cabbage that won’t demand too much attention—because who needs more things to maintain?
And remember, even if a plant looks like it’s had a rough summer, with a little TLC, it’ll be ready to charm your minimalist space without adding extra clutter.
2. Organize a plant swap. 🔁 Why spend a fortune on new fall plants when you can trade what you’ve got? Host a plant swap and invite your plant-loving friends to bring their extra green buddies, seedlings, or even cuttings.
This way, you can refresh your plant collection with new, high-quality items without adding unnecessary clutter or spending extra money. A plant swap also fosters a sense of community and allows you to connect with others. So it’s really like a plant-themed par-tay!
3. Explore local garden clubs and plant stands. 💐 Local garden clubs and plant stands are fantastic places to find budget-friendly fall plants. Garden clubs, like those affiliated with National Garden Clubs, often host plant sales or exchanges where you can pick up quality plants at excellent prices. These events are like hidden treasure hunts—except instead of gold, you’re finding gorgeous autumn plants.
Be sure to check out plant stands at farmers’ markets and community events too. You might discover unique varieties and great deals that you won’t find at big-box stores. It’s all about exploring and finding those special finds that make your home feel extra cozy.
