Spring is just right, flowers are blooming, everyone likes to buy a bunch of flowers to decorate their homes.
Some people buy flowers every year through the flower e-commerce platform, some people "squat" in the live broadcast room, some people join a group with friends, and some people are used to picking flowers at the flower market.
Different ways of buying flowers have different prices and different quality of flowers. Which one is the most cost-effective?

Group buying, or go to the flower market?
"I bought 20 peonies for 40 yuan, and my friend bought 10 peonies at the wholesale flower market for 15 yuan. Only then did I find that the price difference between the flowers was quite large." Ms. Hu told reporters that she and her friends bought domestic single-petal peonies. , the same variety, the same origin, the flowers are relatively fresh, I did not expect the flower market to be cheaper.
The reporter visited the well-known Hanzhong Gate Flower Wholesale Market in Nanjing.
The reporter asked about the prices of several kinds of flowers. Single-petal peony is 15 yuan for 10 pieces, common varieties of roses, perfume lilies and sunflowers are 25 yuan for 10 pieces, and hydrangea is 25 yuan for a large flower. These common varieties are indeed more expensive than Ms. Hu's group purchase. cheaper.
So why do many people still buy flowers through group buying?
Ms. Hu said that there may be people who, like herself, still choose group purchases after comparing prices, mainly because group purchases can be delivered to your door, and a trip to the flower market takes time and transportation costs. "The difference is the same-city express fee."
Fresh platforms also sell flowers?
There are flower farmers who deliver flowers to your door and do live broadcasts.
The reporter noticed that in the past two years, many flower farmers in Yunnan have sold flowers in the form of live broadcasts, and there are fewer "middlemen" to earn the difference. Even if the logistics cost increases, the price of flowers is still relatively low.
Sometimes, in order to attract customers, they will do some activities of "breaking fractures". For example, the reporter has encountered "9 yuan, 91 bunches of free shipping" roses.
In addition, some businesses you can't think of are also selling flowers - open fresh platforms such as Dingdong Shopping, Meituan Select, and among a lot of vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, and milk, there are still some flowers for sale, and these flowers It is often sold out at the earliest every day, which shows that the business is not bad.
Buying a bunch of flowers when shopping for vegetables is also a little romance in ordinary life.
Is the annual package like opening a blind box?
The above are all flowers of your choice. In order to look good in the bottle, you often have to buy some gypsophila, eucalyptus, etc. to match them.
If you want to be more worry-free, you can choose the annual and monthly packages of various flower e-commerce platforms. These packages are divided into various price points and are delivered regularly. There are many kinds of flowers in a bunch of flowers, which makes the vase less monotonous.
However, if you often buy flowers, you may feel that the cost-effectiveness of the package is not so high: many annual packages are blind boxes, and the flowers you receive may not be the ones you like. Sometimes you will encounter poor quality flowers... After all, "seeing is believing", if you want to choose the freshest and fullest bunch of flowers, go out and buy it yourself.
