Pay even less for garden plants

"It's no surprise that home improvement stores like The Home Depot and Lowe's put lawn mowers and grills on sale now. But did you know that this is also when stores greatly reduce prices on garden center items like trees, shrubs and more? Even better, The Home Depot offers a one-year guarantee on its perennials, trees and shrubs. So if you snap them up now and save your receipt, you can trade them out for free next year if they don't thrive in your garden." -Melissa Cid, deal expert for MySavings.com
