Best deals on Valentine's Day flowers and chocolates
Valentine's Day is now a bigger deal in Australia than it used to be, so you might have a partner who's expecting some nice flowers or chocolates on Friday.
With such occasions some opportunistic pricing can be seen, especially for fresh flowers.
Fortunately, all three supermarkets – Woolworths, Aldi and Coles – have come to the rescue with some budget-friendly deals for both flowers and boxed chocolates.
Yahoo Finance has spotted the following bargains that might help you for the big day.
