Its the thought that counts so no need to spend the £1.50 now

Is an excellant idea. With a small amount of Tippex you can normally save on a card as well.

Any markets open today? Normally a lot cheaper there.

Gunns in Castle Square sell excellent flowers for a reasonable price. You can get a lovely bouquet for less than a tenner.

There's that pikey on the A293 next to Benfield Valley golf course. £1 a bunch, I think, if you can stretch to that.

I hope the lady appreciates all of the work and expense that you are putting into this show of affection.

They're cheaper than Interflora, and in defense of my statement, the OP didn't offer a benchmark.
You could get her a mini pack of Ferrero Rocher whilst your there as well. Very classy that would be.

What about a nice sprig of heather? Glenn-Murray or similar could help I'm sure.

Don't buy her flowers, just show her this thread. It's the thought that counts after all, and what's important is that she knows you were thinking about both the flowers AND the cost implications in these tough economic times. Well done you

I know - why don't you buy her some plastic ones from the local 99p shop? That way you don't have to buy her any more next year. I am sure she will love it.

In my experience one should not give the cheap version of anything as a present. If you cannot stretch to doing it properly, rethink the idea. Especially when it comes to floral offerings. Women can sniff out cheap flowers like a fart in a car. Get her something special or nothing at all.

Carnations are always cheap AND they have that added "straight off the petrol station forecourt" freshness.
