Re: Working around...

Well, if they were that price here, I'd grab them.  If your ground
isn't frozen, I say get them and get them in the ground immediately
and mulch well.  If you don't have snow cover, check them and if
they've heaved, stomp them back in or add more mulch.  If your ground
isn't frozen right now, it probably won't be for a few weeks and
those plants would have time to acclimatize to their new home.  You
can't beat those prices - IF the plants are in decent condition - not
their tops; their roots!
