Our local HD discounts their out of bloom 'chids. Sometimes you can find

Our local home depot is so incompetent with plants that they can manage
to kill rosemary and thyme.
If you don't look through their orhids the same day they are delivered,
you're likely to find a pot of slime or a crispy critter.

This is a problem with their small bagged catts. If I don't get there
within a week or two they're crispy critters. :-( They keep their orchids
right where they get blasted with cool dry air when someone enters the
greenhouse. They dry out and no one waters them.

I actually managed to quench the orchid purchases while waiting for
my wife's house to sell (Okay, we did intend to drop by a local grower on
father's day, but he keeps very short hours on Sundays).

We all need a 10 step program............

Well having the evil bitch kitten decide that the catts, vandas, tolumnia,
isochillus, and oerstdella are damn tasty and not having a good means
to seperate the kitten from the orchids put a severe damper on new purchases
as well...
For those of you considering adopting a stray kitten, I highly
recommend deer netting to keep the feral eating machine away from
the plants.
