Save on Dad’s Gift or a Treat for You
I saw a Cheryl’s Cookies Father’s Day sale email in my inbox this morning and thought I should write up a post on saving on your Father’s Day gift giving – or on a treat or two for yourself.
Of course, the focus is on the 1-800-Flowers.com family of brands of which Cheryl’s Cookies is one.
The others include:
- Harry & David
- 1800Baskets.com
- Simply Chocolate
- FruitBouquets.com
- Personalization Universe
- The Popcorn Factory
- Wolferman’s
- Stock Yards
- Goodsey
Purchases made at any of these retailers – after first starting at 1800Flowers.com – should trigger the savings opportunities listed below.
So let’s take a look at how to save big on your 1800Flowers.com purchases.
Start with Sale Items
Purchasing sale items is the most obvious way to save money.
For example, the Cheryl’s Cookies email I received is showing 50% off a Father’s Day Cookie Gift Box. While it says the 50% off is one-day only, it doesn’t specify which day that is. So maybe this deal can be had until the sale pricing is pulled. Or maybe it’s today (6/6/19) and that’s it. Check for yourself if this specific item is of interest.
Many of the 1800Flowers.com family of retailers have a “Sale” link if saving the most on your purchase is your primary focus.
Otherwise, select the retailer from which you want to buy and find products Dad, or you, will enjoy.
Earn Cash Back or Points on Your Purchase
Before you make your purchase, check out Cashbackmonitor.com to see how to sweeten your deal.
Here are a few of the cash back/points earning options that stand out to me.
- 20% cash back at Top Cashback
- 10% cash back at Ebates/Rakuten
- 15 United MileagePlus miles per dollar spent
- 10 American AAdvantage miles per dollar spent
- 7 Alaska Air miles or Southwest points per dollar spent
To earn the cash back or miles/points simply sign-in to your preferred cash back or mile/points portal and then click through the 1-800Flowers.com link on that portal to make your purchase.
Top Cashback and Ebates/Rakuten are our preferred cash back portals. If you’re new to either, using our referral link will provide us a referral bonus, and in the case of Ebates/Rakuten, you will earn an extra $10 cash back after you make a $25 or more purchase.

These cash back amounts are not the highest we’ve seen, but they’re pretty good.
And the 15 United MileagePlus miles per dollar spent is enticing, too.
But for some, these points earning amounts or cash back levels aren’t the end of the savings.
Chase & Amex Offers for Even More Savings
American Express fairly regularly has Amex Offers that will save (or earn Membership Rewards points) on your 1-800Flowers.com purchases.
There currently isn’t a 1-800Flowers.com Offer available, however, there was not too long ago. If you saved that Offer to your card and have not yet used it, you’re in luck.
Depending on the card to which the Offer was attached, you can either earn 1,500 Membership Rewards points on, or get $15 off, a purchase of $50 or more at 1-800Flowers.com.
And Chase has an Offer that will save on your 1-800Flowers.com purchase, too.
In this instance it’s 10% off your purchase. Depending on the Chase card to which the Offer is attached, the savings amount may be more or less.
If you’re not familiar with Chase Offers, check out our most recent piece which will provide a brief overview, but more importantly, point you to how to add the Offers to your Chase credit card(s).
Whether it’s American Express or Chase, taking advantage of money saving Offers is fairly easy.
Find an Offer you want to use, add the Offer to your credit card and then use that credit card to make the purchase at the Offer’s retailer.
You should see the savings a few days later as a statement credit.
Savings Wrap Up
Saving on your 1-800Flowers.com family of retailers purchase is pretty easy.
First, look for sale items you might want to buy.
Then decide which portal – cash back or miles/points – you want to use. Sign-in to that portal and click through to the 1-800Flowers.com site, and then to the retailer from which you want to buy.
Then use the credit card on which you added the 1-800Flowers.com Offer to pay.
Doing all of those steps will save you money – potentially a significant amount – on your 1-800Flowers.com purchase.
And remember, while 1-800Flowers.com and its associated family of retailers is often thought of during gift giving time, there are a variety of food items that can be great for you at a reduced price thanks to these savings opportunities.
A few to consider:
Wolferman’s has tasty baked goods and monster English muffins that make a great weekend breakfast treat.
The Popcorn Factory offers a variety of snack items, popcorn being the primary one, for those, like me, who enjoy a variety of popcorn during movie nights.
Cheryl’s Cookies takes sweet treats to the next level. Cookies, brownies and cake slices are sure to satisfy that sweet tooth.
Harry & David is best known for its fruit offerings, pears in particular, but it also has a variety of gourmet food items which can turn a regular dinner night into something special.
And Stock Yards offers a wide variety of meal items – steaks, hamburgers, appetizers and more – that can add some spice to your regular meal lineup.
All of these can be tried at a reduced price thanks to the money saving tips above.
