RALEIGH (WTVD) -- Valentine's Day brings in big business for many flower shops, which is evident in the $2 billion American consumers are expected to spend this year, according to the National Retail Federation.

ABC11 did some price comparisons for a dozen roses for Valentine's Day.

We visited five Triangle stores to see who had the most affordable dozen and here's how they stacked up:

- Trader Joe's: $12.99
- Lidl: $9.99

Lidl is running a Valentine's Day special selling a dozen for $9.99, making it the cheapest ABC11 found this Valentine's Day.
