Early spring, mom’s door bell rang and neighbor holding an armload of tulips. She was crying and apoligizing that her 3 year old son cut ALL of mom’s tulips.
A month or two before a quack “surgeon” assured that I would never do so again, I planted 350 ballerina tulips; put each bulb in the hole with some stuff to keep the critters from eating them.
The squirrels don’t seem to have gotten the memo; 4th season of blooms and I doubt if half of them are still there – but the ones that are there are lovely!
Once read a consumer reports in the 80’s that listed Ultra Bright fluoride teethpaste as a best buy which is available in the dollar stores for $1.25 – I won’t pay $4
Some flowering bulbs( like tulips) aren’t to be taken for granted in warm climates like southern AZ (which is where the MacPhersons appear to live) It doesn’t get cold enough for bulbs to bloom annually, so they have to be dug up each year and refrigerated for 10-14 weeks before replanting again for spring bloom.

My wife just bought four 4-packs of pudding because they were on sale. When our cereals go on sale she’ll do that with them, too.
