Which supermarket has the cheapest rose bouquets?
The cheapest supermarket this year for red roses is Aldi, which is selling a dozen blooms for £3.45 after reducing the price from £3.99.
Morrisons also has a stellar deal on Valentine’s bouquets, with 12 roses priced at just £3.47 – but this exclusive price is only available to customers who belong to the supermarket’s More Card loyalty scheme. If you don’t have a More Card, the same bunch is still a very reasonable £4.50, making it an affordable option either way.
Elsewhere, Lidl shoppers are in for a treat, with the budget supermarket offering 12 roses for just £3.99 – an excellent bargain for a last-minute Valentine’s gift. At the slightly higher end, Waitrose and Asda are both selling small bunches for £5, while Tesco matches the same price for a more generous 12 stems, which works out to around 42p per stem.
If you’re happy to spend a bit more, Sainsbury’s offers a dozen roses for £10, roughly double the price of the budget options, but still a convenient and classic choice for Valentine’s Day.
Finally, M&S tops the list in terms of cost, with its Valentine’s dozen red rose bouquets setting you back £25. It’s worth noting though that for this premium price you get beautifully gift-wrapped flowers, the option to include a personal gift note, and blooms sourced from trusted, sustainable growers. Plus, for anyone who’s left it to the last minute, next-day delivery is available – making it easy to send a thoughtful token to a loved one without the stress.
If you’re after a single rose, your cheapest options are Aldi and Lidl this year, with both retailers offering stems for £1.99 each. For something that lasts well beyond Valentine’s Day, Morrisons also has a faux red rose for just £1, making it a charming keepsake or a decorative touch you can enjoy long after February 14.
