I pretty much resigned myself to buying from Trader Joes until I picked up my arrangement from Jennifer today; it is TERRIFIC! Manchester florists are businesspeople. Jennifer is an artist first, and it shows. She made a beautiful mix of flowers with rich textures arranged with sophistication and artistry. Value? I see something in there that's going to bloom in a few days, extending the life of the bouquet for longer than usual. Clean, natural arrangement, no gimmicks. A careful selection of flowers, arranged with taste, I love it. I wish I could express how happy I am to FINALLY have a good florist again! Thanks, Jennifer, your artistry and good taste makes another loyal customer.

I highly recommend Flowers by Jennifer.

I was not notified, by phone, text or email that the delivery would be made two days earlier than I had requested. When I called Sophia's to voice my complaint, I spoke with the owner. He was incredibly rude and did not seem to grasp the importance of Valentine's Day flowers being delivered on Valentine's Day. He asked me, "have you seen the weather forecast?" I offered that I believed there was snow predicted on 2/12 and 2/13, but not 2/14. He said that there was bad weather predicted for 2/14 and he had to get his deliveries out early. I asked why I had not been notified. No answer. He asked me what I wanted from him. Seriously, he said, "What do you want from me?". I told him that my expectation was that the delivery would be made on the day I had requested it. I explained that I had paid him for a Valentines Day floral arrangement to be delivered ON Valentines Day and would expect to be notified if they could not accommodate. He asked me again, "what do you want from me?". I told him I either wanted my money refunded or I wanted flowers I paid for to be delivered on the date I requested. His response? "i'll tell you what, I will come back and get the flowers from you and then I will refund your money, how about that?" Their website boasts about, "great customer service". There was no, "great customer service" in my experience. Will stick with Woodman's from here on out.

Ollie's Bargain Outlet

"I've tried and tried to no avail You just can't seem to let…read moreme down You drive a hard bargain" (Emmylou Harris) We enjoy our bargain stores and are fans of Ocean State Job Lot, Big Lots and Ollies. Two days ago, we made our first visit to the Ollies on Grafton Street in Worcester. We picked up our "go to" Ollies staples -coffee K Cups (BTW, we do recycle them) and found some very good values on $4 or $5 for a box. Although we did get some good values, we thought the overall coffee inventory was lower than in other Ollies. We usually pick up some odds and ends in the food section and Ollies had a good selection of soups and salsas. One odd thing I saw was a trend of messiness in some of the store's sections. There were area rugs dumped all over the floor in one aisle. Now of course, I don't know how that happened, nor how long that mess was there, but I suspect a slovenly customer was looking at merchandise and couldn't have been bothered by picking up the mess they had carelessly created. But why on earth hadn't an employee noticed and remedied that mess? Another example of inattention was how the big cartons of K Cups were stacked; it looked as though their forklift or pallet jack operator had a few too many adult beverages before saying "that messy off-center precariously leaning stack is EXACTLY the way I wanted it too look". Overall, we had a typical Ollies experience, and that's a good one!

Actually some prices are not the cheapest but if you look, you can find some deals. From books, to garden care, to home ware, to some foods, even big appliances like air conditioners, school supplies, sports, toys, they might just have it. Not everything but you have to look. That's why you would come. To find a deal. It's not the best looking store or tidy,but that's the vibe here. Bargains, bargains, like at a warehouse. What's fun is actually to read the signs in the store. They are funny and very original. It's in a plaza with other stores, so there's plenty of parking. If in the area, I would check it out. But I wouldn't drive all the way just for a bargain. You could go to Big Lots, Ocean State Job Lot for similar items and in a nicer looking store. But you would miss out on the signs that advertise this store. That was the only thing I enjoyed.
