I'll be alone this Valentines but I always go out and get dad his roses for mum…
Not sure how many roses in this "bunch" but I assume it is more than 1. I think this is a nice bargain for roses this Valentines.
Other alternatives would be stealing your neighbour's roses, making origami roses or even printing out roses. Whatever your cheap blood desires!
Edit: I'm not sure if they will even be red roses, I remember seeing pink among many other colours!
At the Morrabin store near the checkouts I clearly remember them selling roses, red, pink, yellow, all for $5. But I bought myself pink ones since red depicts romance. :(
This was about a month ago though.
you will get 70% off you buy them on the 15th
can you still return them for a refund within 60 days?
I'll give you the $4.99 if you video yourself trying, 59 days later :)
I don't see why they wouldn't ???
We will refund or replace any non-food specials within 60 days.
Please provide your original receipt (or other proof of purchase), ideally with packaging.
Well…technically, flowers are edible.
Ok, go buy a liquid soap dispenser, use it for 59 days, return it and let us know how that goes…
Be careful, I've heard Aldi have a pretty liberal definition of what constitutes food.
Indeed, and jv I know you don't mind a stoush, but roses are definitely food. Certain marsupials especially love 'em. Greenpossum - kindly confirm.
Oh God, its called 'pica'. More trips to the hospital, but far less to the council tip I suppose…
i can confirm this

Why the long face?
Edit: that was I reply to joshk - not sure why it hasn't nested. Anyway….
True that! There's this Strawberry Watermelon Cake that Black Star Pastry sells. They put some kind of chopped up flower petals all over it and it tastes great. First time I was really surprised, I was like um….are those flower petals???? But yeah….edible.
I can steal my neighbours flowers for free! Do teh wimmenz mind a bit of dirt coming out the bottom of the glad wrap?
I guess they might if you try and use it as a condom
stealing or encouraging stealing is not right……
I think you meant "prune" your neighbour's flowers for free. Right ?
my local aldi often has white roses at this price, or half dead ones for $2.50(dont know who would buy them though) this is a good deal for valentines i guess if they have enough stock and red roses. i dont much like them myself but i know they can be hard to source, i would prefer something living like a plant or a puppy :)
You might be able to pluck the petals from the 'half dead' roses and add them to a hot bath.
+1 for being thoughtful and getting it on behalf of ur dad…
Which cancels out the -1 for the dad ???
Normal pricing…
You're forgetting it's valentines day
It's still normal pricing. They have flowers for that price all the time so don't see a bargain here
No one has mentioned that you will be alone for Valentines day, but you won't be alone you will have all your Ozbargain bargains…
Well said.
There's no afrodisiac like loneliness.. Truth beauty and a picture of you ..
If someone posts bargains for hand lotion and tissues, then my Valentines day is complete.
I see what you did there
You could always buy the paper & scour it for ozbargain love ads that were free.
I buy flowers from Aldi all the time, they're pretty good quality, especially the lilies. This is in QLD though, not sure about other areas.
+1 for helping your dad score
"I'll be alone this Valentines but I always go out and get dad his roses for mum…"
You Sir are a scholar and a gentleman
"Whatever your cheap blood desires!" … I will tell the missus about this bargain when i come home, so can she buy flowers herself if she wants them so badly.
I'd much prefer a bargain than flowers on Valentine's Day, but if the bargain happened to involve flowers, well, all the better!
Not sure whether to give you +1 or -1 for representing "flowers" in inverted commas…
I'll give you both.
Price match at Coles or Woolies? :)
Aldi is very good value in general. Thanks.
Every Aldi in the Newcastle area has flowers for that price all the time so don't see a bargain here.
Normally gets you about a dozen of small roses that come in various colours
have you ever try to buy roses at any other place on Valentine Day?
And what makes you think that you will get them at Aldi any easier?
the point is: Aldi DO sell these roses $4.99 on/before Valentine Day!
whether YOU get it or not! other people do have their chances!
(and yes I went to local Aldi and they do have roses on Valentine Day!)
this is OzBargain, we all share bargain deal/information here
everyone who post here has spirit of sharing good deal
your -NEGATIVE vote is really inappropriate to the deal itself!
you should apologise to the Original Poster!
Will they start to die by tomorrow if bought today?
Tips on how to keep them fresh?
True love never dies.
2 or 3 drops of bleach in the water the roses are sitting in. It apparently slows down the bacteria growth.
My mothers best friend was a florist and that's what she always did. Her flowers looked like a million dollars. Apparently solo fizzy drink also works, not too much (50-100ml). The sugars help somehow. Dunno make about the latter but I can vouch for the bleach trick.
EDIT: Found this in case think I'm fooling around :)

Actually the add said fresh flowers, rather than roses - so probably something else maybe?
Roses are fairly pricey
