Guys. If you are planning to purchase flowers for your wife or mom, remember that many, many men will be doing the same. Buy your flowers a day or two in advance and hide them in your clothes closet or the beer fridge in the garage. The line last year at Vons, just to buy flowers, was quite long. You can always tell if itâs a special occasion because there are guys shopping who donât usually frequent grocery stores. They look uneasy in the flowers line balancing a few six packs and a bag of Slim Jims.
