The Deal Mommy

True Deal Mommy Confessions: I don’t want flowers for Valentine’s day. Sure, I love flowers, but I don’t drag Deal Dad through mountains of guilt until a pimply faced delivery boy shows up with a genetically-enhanced bouquet of overpriced blooms. After 21 years, you either got it or you don’t.

My unscientific polling tells me that most Moms are in the same camp: flowers, ugh, who needs em? Pretty, but dead in a week and HOW MUCH DID HE SPEND?

Unfortunately, no one told the daily deal sites. Just as Travel Summary blew the lid off credit card links, I’ll share a secret: I’ve been BOMBARDED with “deals” on flowers from pretty much every source you can imagine, some with bonus incentives, and I’m not posting a single one.

I’ll do a separate post with some great ideas you can buy from your sofa, but if you MUST go the floral route, use this flyertalk forum to track the best miles back deals.

One final note: if you have in mind any gift for your Valentine that ends with the word “gram”, just DON’T.
