Saskatchewan businesses say inflation isn’t enough to bring down Valentine’s Day
Saskatchewan prepares for Valentine’s Day on Tuesday, but with inflation looming over everyone’s shoulders, businesses weren’t sure how much gifting would play a part this holiday.
“The freight has gone up on everything,” said Saskatoon resident Quinn Brown. “With fuel expenses and things like that, that trickles down to us and the cost of flowers, getting them here.” Brown, co-owner alongside his wife, of Quinn and Kim’s Flowers in Saskatoon said that despite inflation, pre-orders on flower arrangements are through the roof right now.The shop won’t be able to measure their full success until after Valentine’s Day but as of right now, flowers are flying off the shelves.
“We’re all being affected somewhat by inflation, our home heating and gas bills are all experiencing those things so we’ve just tried to be mindful of that in the store and trying to have a little bit lower price points for people, understanding that people are on a budget but would still like to buy something.”In previous years, the shop mostly sold flowers through last-minute walk-in clients looking to grab something, but this year, nearly everyone is preordering.
