Don’t even think about buying delivery Mother’s Day flowers – these bargain bunches from Aldi to Tesco are just as good

IT’S that time of year when many of us thank or remember our mums with a big bunch of flowers.

No one wants blooms that fade after a day or two, and some delivered bouquets can be costly, so where should you go to get the best value?

Martyn James, consumer expert for The Sun’s Squeeze Team, says: “Avoid delivery costs and save yourself a packet by buying a bouquet from a supermarket and delivering them in ­person.”

Here, mum-of-three Lynsey Hope sees how store flowers compare to more specialist bunches.

 Lynsey says: I loved Aldi’s flower range, especially this bunch. It had more hydrangeas and a nicer jug than eFlorist’s.

Lynsey says: Amazon’s bouquet is pricey. Instead, I put together two bunches from Sainsbury’s. They even looked fresher.

Lynsey says: Interflora’s is impressive. But out of its fancy packaging, it looks hardly any different to Tesco’s bouquet.

Lynsey says: The Moonpig bouquet is very pretty but drooped quickly. The cheaper Waitrose bunch has more stems.

Lynsey says: M&S’s are very pretty, but Morrisons has a similar bouquet minus the sun- flowers. They lasted well, too.

 Lynsey says: Prestige’s are incredibly pricey, while Asda’s are a steal at £3. You could even buy two bunches and stick in a gift bag.
