How can I make my cut flowers last longer in a vase?

I bought a bouquet of flowers at the grocery, and the package did not come with any flower food. The flowers died within a few days. Is there anything at home I can put in the water to make them last longer, if they don’t come with any flower food?

You can crumble up baby asprin and put it in the vase with the water and a bit of sugar. Also every few days cut the stems on an angle.

yeast and salt work really well and can make them last weeks longer

I have heard to use sugar, but it is debatable whether it works or not.

a friend of mine uses regular aspirin not the coated kind. I dont know if it really works but
they say it does.

Keep the water clean and chop the end of the stems off after a few days to refresh them. I know lots of people who stand them in coke because the sugar is meant to help

I was told aspirin in luke warm water. And make sure to cut the bottoms all at an angle.
