    The M&S ones look good. They are slightly more than the Tesco ones but I think worth it just so they're not delivered in a Tesco box - could look a bit cheap!
    The quality of the flowers looks much better in the photo on M&S than Tesco as well.

    £15.97 in club points is 15p x 4 for Tesco Deals meaning Tescos works out at £15.37. However, im all in favour of helping the lil guy...

    Thanks to this site I save quite a bit throughout the year. So I'll be going to the local florist to arrange a delivery of a decent bunch with some of my savings. I saw some Tesco Blue Stripe flowers delivered to work last year, I'm happy to pay a bit more for a decent bouquet even if it only has one rose amongst them. The local florist asks if am or pm is best, and they know to use the porch if she's out. Last year I spent £25 on a 1 rose + others. The arrangement was huge, she had 3 vases packed out of it!
    The missus thinks I'm a cheapskate on a lot of stuff - I dont want to give her ammo on Valentines Day, there might be a massacre :D:D:D

    Yeah, I'm thinking the same. I'm all for saving money but dont think I'm gonna try on Valentines Day. Will still shop around & try to be a smart shopper but just dont think will be going for the likes of Tesco (especially when someone said they go some delivered that were almost dead...!)
