How Much the Average American Spent on Valentine’s Day

FLOWERS

Americans are expected to spend $2 billion on flowers this Valentine’s Day. But if your sweetheart is looking forward to receiving flowers at work or home, don’t immediately buy a dozen red roses. Sure, the red rose is iconic, but you can save by buying an equally beautiful bouquet of different flowers.

1-800-Flowers.com is selling a dozen red roses for $44.99, but seven stems of red, pink and white lilies with a vase for $29.99.
