Roses - Aldi's - $5.98/doz (ymmv?)

[DrPizza]

If you want to surprise the wife/girlfriend, and don't want to spend a lot, Aldi's had half dozens for $2.99. Got some as a surprise for my wife the other day while I was grocery shopping.. they were very nice, good quality. She was quite happy with them.

Personally, I prefer to give roses as a gift at random times throughout the year, rather than at Valentine's day, when they really don't mean anything.

My girl's allergic to roses!

Wow, with so very few responses, I'm not surprised at the number of YAGT's in OT.

Hint: buy her roses "just because I love you" for no particular occasion.
Better hint: do it when the roses are cheap. The thought is what counts, not the price of the roses.

Wonder if the local Aldi will have them. Have to check this week.

Never heard of Aldi's. . .
Are they local to you?

Central Market (HEB) has Roses for $8 a dozen pretty much all the time, that's the best I know of around Austin.

Anyone help me find them as cheap as Aldi's in Austin? $3 a dozen would rock. . .

What the hell is an Aldi

Aldi is like Save-a-Lot (if that means anything to you)

I used to work at an Aldi's.

I'll have to check that special purchase out, that's a good price on the roses.

I picked up some for my wife last night, good deal. Too bad our Aldi's smells like wet dog. :Q

 

[robby69]

Just picked up 6 red roses today, for $2.49. What a sport I am.

 

[dxpaap]

If only we could order them online for delivery!

Very good deal.

Finally stopped by and got a Dozen [(2) 6 packs] for my girlfriend.

At my local Aldi. They were Long Stemmed. The color choices were; Red, Peach, Red/white, Pink, and Off White. They also came with some assorted extra decorative stuff:

Astromerias, Babies Breath, Green fernlike stuff.

Over all an OUTSTANDING Deal. We shall see if they last.

They came with a packet of the powder for longer life too.

Thanks. My girl was very happy.

OK, so I now know what an Aldi is, but WTF is a girlfriend!
