Anyone find a place that you can get cheap flower petals? I don't have a florist so I can't get some for cheap or free from them. I cant use fake ones because its outdoors and I want to be eco-friendly. I found a place online that I can buy 15 cups of freeze dried petals for $30 but I don't need 15 cups and figured maybe someone here will have and idea of an alternative route to take. I will get the freeze dried ones if I cant find any.

Bunches direct is good but if it's not over a certain amount they charge a $39.99 fee. Their rose petals are $14.99. I ordered the mothers corsages from there and they have a special going on for 50 roses for free. But because I had to order several corsages and the 50 roses were free it was worth spending the $39.99.

Krogers is a grocery store. Any grocery store with a floral dept has roses. A dozen roses is about $12 at kroger.

Oh yes, sorry, go to your regional grocer. Most have pretty cheap floral sections. Winn Dixie? Lol, I don't know where you live. It depends on how deep your flower basket is. Maybe get a small-ish basket, and ask your FG to go easy on the petal dropping.
