Title: Bargains at Wilkinsons
Post by: Sprouts on May 05, 2011, 18:23

Our local Wilkinsons has started reducing its spring stock. All half price at the moment on potatoes, onions, rhubarb, seed collections, planters and tubs etc. I usually get a few bits now then wait until they are reduced to 75% off and get stocked up for next year. Our local branch seems to have alot more seeds left this year than they did last year so could be a cheap stock up this year

I got loads of canes and netting from them last week at rock bottom prices and their pots are good too.  If you have a Home Bargains shop, they, too, are pretty cheap for some basics. :tongue2:

Popped into my local one today

Grow bags reduced to £1.28, so I will be trying Wilko grow bags this year!

Also pack of two potato planters for £1.49, ready for next year.

Not a lot else reduced yet, good excuse to go back  ;)

I think I should make a date to go back. Couldn't see anything reduced yesterday.  :( Cheaper grow-bags would have been lovely.
