Few things are more satisfying than finding an unexpected bargain. Finding one that can eventually bloom into something beautiful is even better.

A Dollar Tree shopper scored nearly 1,000 seed packets for just a penny each, which is impressive in itself. But what that frugal find blossomed into is even more inspiring.

Posting on Reddit, the shopper shared that they recently purchased 701 flower seed packets and 256 packets of vegetables and herbs, which would have totaled $478.50 at full price, for under $10.

I need a shirt that says “I went to Dollar Tree and all I got was 957 seed packets that would have cost $478.50 but I got them for a penny and some of my tomatoes, jalapeños, and basil.” byu/Pork_chop_sammich........
