With just hours left to pick up a Valentine's Day present, flowers are a quick and popular go-to gift. With so many options, we decided to check out where you can find the best deal in our area for the classic order of one-dozen roses.
If you have an eye for arranging and a vase of your own, the cheapest option is to buy 12 stand-alone roses, or what most shops call "Cash and Carry." Local grocery stores vary in price by only a couple bucks, from $19.98 to $21.99.
You can get your dozen roses for a little less at Target and Wal-Mart, as long as you want just the roses with no greens or a vase. At Wal-Mart stand-alone roses go for $15.88 and at the Target along Highway 10 in Moorhead, you can get them for $17.99.
The floral shop prices also vary: $29.99 for a dozen stand-alone roses at Shotwell Floral and $21.99 at Country Greenery.
If you would rather have someone arrange the roses for you, and you need a vase with it, that's when you will need to dig a little deeper into your pocket.
At local grocery stores, the most expensive we found was at Hornbacher's. You can get the "Premium" arrangement for $69.99, which includes a vase and greenery. A step down from that is the "Standard" arrangement for $59.99, which has less greens.
Shopping for an arrangement of 1 dozen roses will set you back $59.99 at both Sun Mart and Cash Wise Floral.
As for the floral shops in town, Shotwell Floral has a few options: A dozen with Baby's Breath and Greens in a vase will run you $79.99, but you can also get an arrangement without Baby's Breath for $69.99.
At Baker Garden and Gift, you'll get a "Baker's Dozen," which is 13 roses arranged with greens in a vase for $59.99. At Country Greenery an arrangement of roses is also $59.99.
