To think supermarkets should not get away with mothers day rip off!!

[PABLOP]

Went to Tescos yesterday to get MIL some flowers and perfume. I like the bouquets at Tescos and often buy them for presents for friends.It was blatently obvious that the prices had been increased, if I had bought a £20 bouquet any other day, I would have got a lovely gift but the £20 bouquets on offer yesterday were pathetic with about 6 flowers in total and green foliage. Luckily she likes lilies so I bought a couple of bunches of those instead, I bought both mums cards some time ago but I had my goddaughter with me and she had £10 to get her mum a prezzie and a card, she chose a card which was okay but I couldn't believe it when I saw the price at £4.95, anybody else think this is a rip off?

yep its disgraceful, every occaison like this including valentines day they double up on the perfume/flowers/bears etc, they really shouldnt be allowed to get away with it

They'll probably keep getting away with it while people are daft enough to pay the inflated prices.

Thats why i buy the smaller ones like the Tulips, Lillies and carnations and put my own Bouquet together, its much nicer.

Kaishay, thats a really good idea, I'll try that next time i get flowers for a pressie, could use nice tissue paper, ribbons etc, oooh feeling all creative now!

ace new word! yes well they can hoik up their prices cos i'm doing what kaishay does from now on!

I've always spelt it hoick .

No flowers at all for me this year. I gave strict instructions that they weren't to waste their money. Besides I still have some flowers left over from my birthday (still going strong after 19 days).

Sorry, yes, it's in the dictionary meaning to sharply raise something .

I like my flowers in a garden so I ask for packets of seed.
