Title: 75% off seeds at Wilkinsons
Post by: NorfolkVeg on June 22, 2011, 09:10
I promise I don't work for Wilkinsons after my last two posts!!

Nipped in there yesterday morning while in town and they have reduced most of the seeds and by 75% on everything reduced.  

Alot of the packets were 'sow by 2012' or some even dated 2013.  I bought a good basket full and I only spent £13.  My wife was up town later yesterday and she said the reduced shelf was almost empty!

Enjoy bargains if you can get them

Headed down there to fill my boots, but looks like everything gone now. They still have a fair few seed packets on 3 for 2 though.

Cheers for the heads up anyway NV.

My Mum actually phoned me the other day just to tell me she's heard they're getting a Wilkinsons near her in Norfolk. :lol: They didn't seem to exist down there until now! :ohmy: She always comes and raids the one that is a mere 5 minute walk from my house whenever she comes to stay, so excited is not the word! :lol:

Ooops...I went in today and stood in front of the seeds and got picked looooooads out I fancied without looking at the prices, got some more seed trays, plant pots, small labels, gravel trays, plant food and a few pet bits and spent about £18 which was a lil more than I planned to but my total discount was just over 25 quid...so it was a bargain and therefore I'm not as naughty I thought I was for spending money  :)

Our Wilkinsons had 75% off thier wooden handled garden tools over the weekend.

I picked up a spare spade, two forks (I have some tree roots to dig) and a rake at £3.50 each, and a dutch hoe for a whopping cost of £2.40. Seeds are still only 3 for 2, though...

Some packs I bought had "half marked price" or "3 for 2" stickers on and the shelf had no prices on at all but the guy on the till said that they were ALL 75% off ...might be worth asking Kosh  ;)
