I buy a mix of things from the local pet store, whos owner is quite a keen birder, and some bulk from poundstretcher.
The pet store guy will deliver bulk bags for free, he also sells them to me for almost trade cost, it might be worth asking a local store by you, i think local shops are desperate for the custom.
I think a variety of feeders is as important as the feed.
Dosent seem to matter what i put out the sparrows still prefer the bread from next door! Common as muck!
Trillium, I live close to Brinvale farm itself. A lot of the stock they use they grow themselves which is great environmentally as it reduces transport.

I'm using 25kg bags from Pets at Home (about one every other week) And by the amount its still going down I can only assume they like it!
Then of course, I have seen squirrels and the ocasional straight tailed variety up on the feeders.
