Matt Gardens (@matt_gardens) shared the advice in a video with over 15,000 TikTok followers.
On a trip to the supply store, the gardener revealed his secret: “Garden Center hack that will save you money on soil!” he said.
“Not every soil bag arrives to the Garden Center in perfect condition,” he explained.
Matt explained that the less-than-pristine bags are normally taken and stored in the same area of the store — at a discounted price.
“I acted up and got 4,” he joked, showing off his haul.
“I would take more if I had more room in my car.”
He warned those interested in using his tip to exercise with caution: “I usually look for bags that are close to full to get the most bang for my buck,” he advised.
“It’s just missing a few scoops and these same soil bags are usually $4.48 but at the register, these were marked down to $3.33!”
He admitted that the price difference wasn’t much but on a tight gardening budget, every dollar counts.
People took to the comments to share their thoughts: “Say what! That should be 50% off,” said one commenter.
Others thought he could negotiate an even better deal: “If you have room next time talk to someone and ask them how much if you take all,” said another.
Matt was open to the suggestion: “Ooooh! Good idea!” he said.

Crew Dragon Launches Safely, Carrying First Russian From US Soil In 20 Years
Following this disaster, no more Russians would fly on the space shuttle after it returned to service. Instead, NASA focused on flying the minimum number of missions needed to complete the construction of the International Space Station. After the shuttle’s retirement in 2011, NASA would come to rely on Russia’s Soyuz vehicle as its only ride to space. NASA regained the capacity to launch its own astronauts into space in 2020, after working with SpaceX to complete the development of the Crew Dragon vehicle. Following a successful demonstration flight in May 2020 with two astronauts on board, Crew Dragon safely launched six additional times, carrying an additional two dozen people into space.
On Wednesday, Crew Dragon carried astronauts into space for an eighth time, with the fifth operational mission for NASA. This Crew-5 flight was commanded by Nicole Mann, a NASA astronaut making her first flight into space. “Whooo, that was a smooth ride uphill!” she exclaimed upon reaching orbit. Among the four Dragon riders was a cosmonaut, Anna Kikina, also making her debut flight into space. She is just the sixth Russian or Soviet female cosmonaut in the history of the program since Valentina Tereshkova flew into orbit on June 16, 1963. Kikina is also the first Russian to launch into space from the United States since Budarin, two decades ago. In addition to Mann and Kikina, Crew-5 is rounded out by NASA astronaut Josh Cassada and Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata. While the other three are rookies, this is Wakata’s fifth spaceflight. During their stay aboard the International Space Station, the astronauts will conduct more than 200 science experiments and technology demonstrations, including studies on printing human organs in space.
