MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Get ready to spend more money on that special someone this Valentine’s Day. Prices on everything from flowers to candy are on the rise. Banchet Jaigla creates unique bouquets for people in the New York City area. Prices for roses and other flowers usually go up before Valentine’s Day, but Jaigla estimates prices are up about 20% compared to last year. She blamed the pandemic for shutting down some flower producers and causing a supply squeeze. “A lot of farms that we use for flowers are out of business,” Jaigla said.
