You can save a lot if you choose to buy something from the public market than in malls. If it's your first time to visit the place, you should let your foot be ready to explore the area.

Let's go for the flowers first, because though Valentine's Day is over, I know of some people who vowed to bring their partners flowers even if it's NOT Valentine's Day. You can definitely find your desired flower but there are so many to choose from, so keep an open mind. Some street vendors do flower bouquet arrangements but if you want to use your creativeness and personalize you can make your own.

So, the landmark of this flower part in Carbon Market is the University of San Jose-Recoletos along 190 Magallanes St. and Escaño St. located at the Freedom Park. There are vendors that sell the flower on the streets for the meantime, especially on Sunday (Market Day). You can ask the vendors about the prices and compare them to the others. The tip around here is to haggle your best price for your item but not all them negotiate especially those renting large stalls (they had bigger paid permit than on streets)

1. Roses                         ➡️P60-P80 per dozen
2. Daisies                       ➡️P50-60 per dozen
3. Baby's Breath             ➡️P100-P200 per bundle
4. Red Anthuriums          ➡️P60-P80 per dozen
5. Chrysanthemums        ➡️P60-P80 per dozen
6. Gladiolus                    ➡️P80-P100 per dozen

You can choose different colors and sizes at the same price. If canvassing for the lowest price isn't your thing or if you're in a hurry, you can visit some of the more prominent flower shops near the area. An arranged bouquet ranges from P1,000 to P2,000 or even more. Not only local flowers are available, you can definitely see international flowers just like the tulips from Holland (P2,000 up in bouquet) and others.

You can also find some flowers for burials and wakes which range from P500-P2,500 small to bigger one with stands.
