“The price of a medium-sized bouquet at the market ranged from HK$300 to HK$400 (US$38.32 to US$51.10), at least 20 per cent cheaper than last year, when the cost was between HK$500 and HK$700.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While one search result mentions a general price range for bouquets in HK (HK$300-HK$600) and another mentions Valentine's Day sales, none of the evidence confirms the specific price drop for medium bouquets from HK$500-700 last year to HK$300-400 this year.
