Cheapest place to buy last-minute Mother’s Day flowers – and it’s not Lidl or Home Bargains
MOTHER’S Day is here and you may be looking for a last-minute bargain bouquet for your loved one.
Supermarkets and florists always fight for your cash ahead of the big day, so you don’t need to spend a fortune on your bouquet.
If you’re looking to get great value, think carefully about what blooms you want.
For those going for giant, colourful displays you can expect to spend at least £15, but seasonal flowers such as tulips can be great value for money.
With so many options available, we’ve rounded up the best deals from supermarkets, online florists and the top emergency next day delivery deals.
As Mother’s Day is tomorrow (March 10), you may want to think about bagging a deal sooner rather than later.
You could pop down to your nearest store, or you may still be able to order your flowers or bouquets in enough time to arrive tomorrow.
Make sure you double check delivery slots before ordering to make sure they will arrive on time.
Prices can change daily, so it is best to do your own comparison too to ensure you are getting the cheapest deal.
You can use price comparion sites such as Google Shopping and Trolley.co.uk to compare prices across different retailers.
We reveal below where to go to get your best deal on Mother’s Day flowers on the high street at the moment.
