Best bet for flowers on the cheap?

Can anyone recommend a place to buy cut flowers locally? Farmer's market, or grocer?

    There's a place (bodega/korean market - we don't need that debate again :lol: ) near Carroll St./Key Food that sells flowers pretty cheaply.

    How about "minority soon to be majority owned abode of business transaction" or MSMOABT for short? Who does your pics for you, Flex?

    My favorite place to buy flowers in the slope is at garfield/7th ave:
    Garfield Apple Tree Market (might be the same place mentioned above, it's not far from key food)

    They have a HUGE selection that wraps around the entire corner. Occasionally I like to buy some flowers to brighten up my apartment and when I can I love to buy flowers here. The prices are great and they have a lot of unique bunches, not the typical corner-market flowers.

    Although I am the Queen of Self Portraits, these were done by an ex. He is a photographer. He never took pictures of me when we dated and he never did yoga while we dated. Now he takes my picture at times AND he does yoga. I'm still waiting for a thank you card from his next girlfriend :lol:

    I bought flowers on the cheap at the store next to Key Food, but they lasted about a day and a half.
    On the other hand, the grocery at Garfield and 7th Ave has almost the same price and the flowers last much longer. I always go to the back room and take flowers our from the fridge. They even trim them for you there, if you want.
    The workers are very nice and helpful.

    Natural Land's flowers on Flatbush can last pretty long sometimes, but the best cheap selection is the place next to Key Food on 7th previously mentioned, as well as Apple...

    Has anyone ever tried the flower chick on the corner of McDonald and Ft Hamilton? She seems to have a huge inventory.

    Don't buy flowers from the grocer by the Q/B subway stop. I made the foolish mistake and they had sat them in food coloring to make them like fresh! They went moldy within a few days they were that old.
