Had to pick up a few things at Walmart today. A dozen roses $8.88. The in-lawa used to own a flower shop. The days for flower shops are numbered with undercuts this low. It’s usually not even the flower shops that are doing the price gouging, but the wholesalers that jack the prices up on them. ---

Thankfully my wife worked at a florist and doesn’t need flowers for Valentines Day. She’s happy with a card. 🙂 I’ll usually just pick her up some flowers at random times in the year and that makes her happy. ---

> [@azndc5er](#): > > Impossible. No BS. For real. We were suprised it was that cheap too. It was right at the entrance of the Walmart on Transit. And wife approved. They actually were decent. This was just for the roses. The roses with greens and babies breath was $17 or $18. But still hella cheap. They also had other flowers cheap there too. ---

How much do you guys spend on this “holiday”. I told my GF that we are not participating this time around. Valentine’s day this year seems way more hyped up than last year.
