Are flowers cheaper because of the pandemic? Whole Foods is selling pretty nice bouquets for $5-10.
Also, 10 tulips for $6.30, or 24 roses for $19.99 
People keep saying “no demand for weddings” and I’m sure that’s a key part of it but lots of flowers sort of go in the background in commercial settings — restaurants, offices, hotels — and I bet that’s way down too. Also fewer occasions for people to gift flowers.
This is from the depths of the lockdown but makes directional sense even now.

Some people are saying these prices are not especially good. $5 for a presentable bouquet seems like a very good deal to me? I guess I should be buying flowers more often.
Anyway this has been an inexpensive way to feel better about spending so much time at home.
The other thing I've been buying sometimes is hydrangea blooms -- $11 for five stems -- if you get ten of them and put them in a tall vase they make a very robust ball of spring on your coffee table in the middle of winter.
For reference here’s a $5 bouquet and one that I think was $9
