I discovered a way to make momma happy for mothers day while making my wallet happy too.

I’ll be making a trip to San Francisco this mothers day, so I won’t be around to show mom love in person. I’m doing delivered flowers this year. Unlike most bloggers, not only is my mother not my only reader, but she doesn’t read it at all. That’s just the nature of my non-techy mother. I’m not ruining a surprise.

FTD.com is my weapon of choice. To make the ammo cheaper, take your order all the way to the point of checking out. Don’t check out. Simply close the web page. In a few minutes, you’ll receive via email a $5 gift certificute on your purchase, suckering you into coming back.

FTD calls it a “second bite”. You need the flowers. Bite. But wait… there’s more.

FTD won’t deliver on actual mothers day, I suppose because it’s a Sunday? So Saturday May 12th is the next obvious choice right? Wrong, choose Friday the 11th. You’ll save 26% on service charges.

May 12th Delivery

May 11th Delivery

I know, two days before the actual date doesn’t make for an “as special” mothers day, but neither is one day before. Penny pinch away. Mother will still love you.
