Another budget location...

Many grocery stores have floral departments. Usually they have cut flowers available for like 3 bunches for $10 - $12. They sell a lot of flowers and they are usually very fresh and typically will last a long time.

Take them home and re-cut the stems under cool water. Re-cut the stems and replace the water and flower keeper solution every 3-4 days and they will last for a couple weeks.
