Are those bromeliads?
This is a close call, our local Walmart had a broken water pipe and could not water their outdoor plants, so they put some on clearance, many were half dead. I bought the ones that looked like there was a chance of being brought back. Most came back with watering. If the discarded plants do die, you can use their containers with the planting medium to start next year's crops. Go for it, nothing to loose.

This depends on the plants and your environment. Some plants only live for a year. You won't have success planting tropical plants outside if the weather gets below freezing. Likewise some conifers don't do well in the south. In the case of these Bomeliads, the main plant will slowly die after flowering, but produce new ones on the side.
Normal habitat would be hanging from trees with very little soil. Consider hanging baskets with moss in a shady humid environment, not in the ground. Keep the cup filled with water. You can divide them when the mother plant dies.
Read up on the watering. The base has cups, which are areas where the waterpools. They don't like the medium they are in real wet causes root for but they drink from the cup areas near the base, They r easy if you got light needs, high light, not sun, and keep water in the cups. Nice score and free !! You go .
