I noticed last night that Asda are selling a premium box of Thornton's chocolates for £4.99. Seemed really good value, if you can hand deliver!

The nerve of some people. The comments some florists have made on here hardly do much to make you want to use them.
First people who use supermarkets are called cheapskates, well some people can only afford that option and as someone said, its the thought that counts, and generally they do last as long as any others.
Then we are told not to buy £5 bunches, come and pay up to £50. Now, please tell me, who is doing the ripping off? The supermarket charging £5 or the florist at up to £50?
Florists, your sales patter doesnt do it for me.

Some posts may have come across wrong but I think they are only trying to point out the difference in quality. Florists can sell the £5 or £10 supermarket bunches at the same price or most likely at a lower price. Unfortunately most of their customer want the expensive roses sold by the stem so the bunches look cheap in comparison and they don't stock as many.
The florists on here are just trying to make the point that you can buy the cheap bunches from them wrapped up nicely for the same price as a supermarket in a plastic sleeve so why not support a local business instead.

I have just been to supermarket and got 2 bunches of asda 2 quid roses and in tesco 3 pound tulips and bunch of carnations in white and red for a quid each. Total of 9 quid. I have rewrapped them all together in tissue and cellophane that I had left over from doing my xmas hampers and they look fab (for my skint nephew to give his girlfriend)
