Not yet, they normally reduce that when the Halloween stock arrives.

This seems to be a promotion, rather than clearance, a bit like the BOGOF  (cheapest one free) seeds earlier this year, but that was such a hassle having to buy 2 packets, then another 2, etc. or you paid for for all the expensive ones and got cheapies free.

When they do clear out their seeds at the end of the year, watch out for the last ones going for 99% off. The way their discounts work out at the till means for any packet costing 49p or less, they will actually pay you 1p to take it away!

I would only consider moving to Scotland if I got a reduction on my water bill for all that free rain you get.
