No woman needs it, but my woman deserves it

Thanks OP. Works out well as can split it between the girlfriend and bit on the side, both will be more than happy with 50 roses each!

I might get them and split then between 8 women at the local bar.

It's mostly a numbers game and I like the odds of 1/8.

My wife would hate it if I spent £25 on flowers. She'd much rather go out for a nice bar meal.

What sort of woman needs 100 roses??

I wonder how many per store probably 1 to get people there then say sold out so ul have get something else

would you put a rose in your mouth , in a romantic way in mean

My point entirely. Both "types" are in need of serious psychiatric treatment.....Stat!!!

:wink:

Don't forget the pint pots for vases

Thats me and 99 of my mates presents sorted for Sunday.

Good luck to the guys hiding this until Sunday lol

You've come up with the best reason so far- Well Done!

1 for every woman the knocked me back.:disappointed:

Smoooooth

awwwwwww....

​for what?

Putting up with that cheese

That's the one.:wink:

Your woman will be so proud of you!

Seems a bit over the top.

£25 to get your end away? Just go out on Saturday night. A blindfold and a couple of pints of cider and black down the Bigg Market is far cheaper.

In all seriousness, go to a florist and get something personal if you're going with flowers. Cheaper and less gaudy.

I fail to see how spending lots of money on flowers shows a woman how much she really means to you. All it shows is that you're happy to waste money. Spend time on her instead. That's far more precious.

​Surely you would better giving them to only 1. Based on your theory you've got a cert! :smirk:

You have that many 'valentines' on the go at the same time? Impressive! I can understand how you would be looking for some economies to scale.

Wait until she finds out your extravagant gesture comes courtesy of "Bargains at Aldi". Just stating the obvious; don't shoot the messenger. Buying bargains for yourself is one thing, buying them for others, unless they are in on it, is another.

100 dead roses... just lovely! not :neutral_face:

:smiley:

100 cheap roses from Aldi. How romantic

100 roses from Aldi is not a romantic gesture...
And to the guy that said his woman deserves it, she must've done something terrible to buy this crap ha :P

this is gonna cause a water shortage in britain

Wow that's cheap. I remember once paying £150 for roses for my ex on Valentine's Day one year...think I'll send her a cat **** this time

she a good cook like?

oh? tell me more about what you did

She knows her way around a sausage.

​depends on how well she can take a sausage...bearing in mind it's not a small sausage

you can always give that to more than one haha.........

I know what you guys mean about flowers not being all that... but sometimes they're a good idea. Mrs Username is over in the US on a (stressful) business trip at the moment, so I called a local florist and had them deliver a small arrangement to her hotel room with a nice note. Sometimes it's nice to let people know you're thinking about them, and flowers is a nice way. Valentine's Day - less convinced.

100 roses or 12 roses ...the outcome is the same lol

I knew there was a better deal than 12 for £20

It's a well documented fact that a man who gives a woman 100 roses on Valentine's Day is, statistically speaking, 78.3% more likely to get ****

Great answer.

are these edible? could make a pretty nourishing valentines meal for one

You must have done something very very wrong :wink:

"Sweetheart" roses - translated as tiny

Don't forget to buy a huge vase, for your Valentine, to keep them in!

Think I will stick to lidl 12 for £3 that's plenty

More men falling for the old chestnut marketing ploy!
Just treat her right every day of the year and she won't be bothered about Valentines day!

genius

thanks for the quote. going to get it for myself heheh

same thing for 75 quids at waitrose

woohoo £75 profit flog em down the local bars for £1 each!

​its not only about deserving it.
I just don't think it's necessary to give anyone 100 roses.
they last for 3 days and u put them in the bin.
it's about them making lots of money.
I simply think u can make a better financial decision. at the end of the day that's why we come here isn't it?
I understand its up to the certain individual if they wanna buy this.
if u earn more u don't care about buying more expensive stuff.

roses last more than 3 days.
no point saving all money in the bank. youre not going to bring the money with you in your after life...

Great deal for Mormons...

im going on a holiday this weekend. if not i will certainly get this for myself.

​of course not.
I would just spend £25 differently on valentines day that's all.
it's not a sin to buy 100 roses

I'd be happier if he gave me the £25 :stuck_out_tongue:

12 and a 1/2 each????

Great deal, 100 roses will last my wife a Year !!!!!!

Great find, just what I need.

I can give 50 to my wife and 10 each to 5 of my erm, other close friends :wink:

I suppose you could use all those petals to put on a bed/in a bath to create the illusion of romance.

Could be seen as overcompensating for failings elsewhere / guilt complex maybe.

As long as the relationship is a good one I am sure any gift will be appreciated but it does lack imagination. There are more meaningful gestures you could make.

A hot deal nonetheless but completely useless for a singleton like me. Sell them individually on Valentine's night and you'll be quids in

What? You mean you can't go out and buy 2 main courses and a few drinks for less than £25? Where do you live? Chuffing Geneva?

So does anyone know if the roses are actually any good? Or do we just have to read comments moaning about how others spend their money.

The wife told me when we first met, if I ever gave her flowers, she'd shove them up my @... so I won't be buying ☺

It's a proven fact that a man who gives his wife / girlfriend 100 roses on Valentine's Day is, statistically speaking, 89.6% more likely to get an.al than a man who doesn't.

Yeah not like a business to want to do that...."I simply think u can make a better financial decision"....who said Romance was dead...."if u earn more u don't care about buying more expensive stuff"....if you think it's about money, then no hope sadly....what's wrong with people.

Last time I took flowers home, the wife called me upstairs all naked like and said "this is for the flowers...."....I said...."Haven't we got a vase...."

I'm not a romantic type

Yes, I am. That still doesn't account for the fact that a woman is so self-absorbed that she needs someone to buy her 100 roses.

No?
Bar - Cheap price £13 a main (£26). cheap/average bottle of wine £22

Or are you talking about 2 tap waters and 2 basket of scampi and chips?

:smile:

^^ let battle commence!

I've only been given roses once and I cut myself badly on the thorns... :disappointed: I love buying flowers for other people though, just to be kind.

I think the point is that it's an ultimately meaningless cliche.

If your significant other loves flowers and regularly buys fresh flowers for the house - buying them a nice bunch is a lovely gesture. If they don't ever buy them, it suggests that they prefer other things (assuming they have any disposable income at all) so getting them flowers implies you're just doing what you've been told to do by stores/media because it's Valentines Day.

That being said, plenty of people inexplicably love it anyway so deeply analysing human emotion/feelings is never going to be particularly insightful! And after all, since when has love been rational?

In their defence, it clearly is about the money... Buying roses for Valentines Day requires precisely no thought or effort, so the only meaning you can really get from it is "they spent money on me".

Which is a perfectly valid thing to be grateful for.

Wow. Must be just the village pubs in North Yorkshire where we are that give you a decent meal for a tenner.

I suggest you stick to McDonald Happy meals matey. Lol.

Budget flowers for the one you love - wow- Who said romance is dead!

Brilliant deal

I can just divided them by 5 & each of my women will be happy

Sort of misses the point with the happy meals mate.

But well done, at least you tried......

I just threw up in my mouth

Asda, Tesco etc are doing a dozen roses for £3. You could buy 8 lots for £24 giving you 96 roses. In other words this is the same price as everywhere else. Cold!

Went down this morning. They looked awful. Ended up buying their 24 roses for 20 quid which looked much better.

Word of wisdom, don't get these for your girl, women much prefer quality of quantity when it comes to flowers, you will be far better off buying 6-12 roses from a good florist or even M&S than buying a 100 from Aldi, and dont just buy them because theres a 100 for £25, she'll find out they came from Aldi and tell her friends or her friends will tell her and you'll look like a cheapskate lol.

just called in to have a look at the roses there that small I missed them don't waste ur money on these better ones out there

Not available at Hatfield store.

Keep it, keep it...
You can always get me something of equivalent value.
Pint of bitter, big marker pen, whatever.
