I found 36 that I couldn't-afford-not-to-have (tm) :) ... sticker price £88.34 ... saved £70.34  :tongue2:

In previous years I have bought double-qty of packets that will keep a couple of years or more. This year I have decided to have another go at raising my own Cucumber plants as Garden Centre didn't have plants of any suitable varieties last Spring - 8 seeds for a quid instead of £1.25 each  :ohmy:

Drat I was only there last weekend when they were selling at 50% rather than 50p  >:(
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Wyevale / Garden Centre Group were doing 5 bags x 56L for £16 - dunno if that offer is still running.  I think the quality is better in the Autumn (made from materials that are drier, and not stacked in the warehouse as long getting compressed, nor getting wet outside, which I feel is what I have bought in previous Springtimes ... so I have 30 "Autumn bags" in the shed ready for next Spring :)

Hope they still have some left next week, as I cannot go until then. I was there on Thursday and it was still only 50% off so I waited ......

Don't need too much tbh though  ;)

at my local they take the packets off the racks a few days after the sale starts and bung them all in a bin and I've heard that other stores do the same. Takes ages to sort through that trying to find the interesting ones :(

The first year I went I tipped the whole lot out on the floor and sat there cross legged for an hour sorting them to work out what I wanted. All their other customers had to detour around me! ... why they can't leave them on the racks beats me, I'm sure they would sell more if they were easier to see what-was-what.

We went to our local today, and yes all seeds now in a big bin. Took me 40 mins to sort through the lot. Spent £19.50, no idea what the "proper" value is, but I now have plenty of seeds and need a bigger seed tin!

Saddo that I am :) I added mine up. Average price was £2.45 - so £1.95 saved per packet, if yours was the same you have saved £76.05  :happy:
