Okay, so the other day I was thinking, “Man, I need some flowers.” My place is looking kinda drab, you know? So, the first thing that popped into my head was Piggly Wiggly. I mean, it’s right down the street, and I’m always in there grabbing snacks.
So, I drove over there, parked my car, and headed straight for the back where they usually keep the produce. I figured if they had any flowers, that’s where they’d be. I walked past the bananas, the apples, you know, the usual suspects. Then I started scanning the shelves for anything that looked like it might have petals.
I didn’t see a dedicated “flower” section, which was a bummer. But then, tucked away near the pre-cut fruit, I spotted a small display. It wasn’t huge, but it had a few different bouquets. Nothing super fancy, just some basic roses, carnations, and a couple mixed bouquets with some filler flowers.
Score! I was actually pretty surprised. I mean, I’ve bought flowers at grocery stores before, but I wasn’t sure if Piggly Wiggly would carry them. They seemed more focused on the basics, you know? Like, milk, bread, and maybe a six-pack.
I picked up a mixed bouquet that had some sunflowers in it. They were looking a little sad, to be honest, but I figured I could revive them with some water and a little TLC. Plus, they were on sale! Can’t beat that.
I walked around and check the other option but they were not so good looking. After grabbing the flowers, I went to the checkout, paid, and headed home. I immediately put the flowers in a vase with fresh water and a little flower food (which, thankfully, I had on hand).
So, the answer is yes, at least the Piggly Wiggly near me sells flowers. They aren’t the most amazing flowers you’ll ever see, but they’re decent enough, especially if you’re in a pinch and don’t want to make a separate trip to a florist. And hey, sometimes you just need a little bit of floral cheer in your life, you know?
- Went to Piggly Wiggly: Checked for flowers near the produce section.

Overall, it was a successful flower-finding mission! I’d recommend checking your local Piggly Wiggly if you’re looking for a quick and easy floral fix. Just don’t expect anything too extravagant.
