Dissapointed

For the first time since I've been subscribing to gardeners world I was Dissapointed to see a full stand of gardeners world magazines in Sainsburys today... The reason.. With the magazine was free seeds and gloves with the 2 for 1 entry card!! Gutted to see yet another company/magazine enticing new customers with promos yet no such luck for those of us who are avid readers and eagerly await the magazine each month!

I'm confused
I don't have a subscription to GW at the moment. I bought my copy today at Waitrose. It came with the 2 for 1 Entry Card and booklet - no sign of any free seeds or gloves

Edd!
What a con
like you Dippy I have subscribed for years and I could do with a new pair of gloves. And seeds
I bet they were tomatoes or rocket
I think I have an explanation - the GW mag sold at Sainsbugs this May is a more expensive 'Bumper Pack' sold only at Sainsbugs and this has free gloves and seeds - it is not available anywhere else - however it costs £5.99 which is more than the£4.25 I paid for the usual version at Waitrose.

You pays more - you gets more.

Its a shame subscribers don't get this kind of perk that can be useful. I get the subscribers edition of GWM but I can't see the difference to buying it, only that it arrives earlier.
I learned years ago, subscribe for a year taking advantage of the special offers, cancel and then wait for the new offers.
But somebody has to pay for it - there isn't a Perk Fairy - most subscribers already get the magazine cheaper than those of us who buy it from the shops - sometimes considerably cheaper
Note to self - must take out a subscription

I used to sign up for the " 5 for £5" offer, then cancel the direct debit asap so it ran out, then repeat. I gave up when someone, who shall remain nameless, came back to GW
I use my Tesco vouchers, only about 15.00 worth of vouchers per year! So the mag was free. I dont buy or subscribe any more, I look back over the past years mags and find so much contradiction, I was only buying for the pictures. Even contradictions in the same mag by two different gardeners!
I love getting the 2 for 1 entry card and booklet on gardens to visit. I live in France and we go to England for holidays, always visit gardens. Pays for the subscription for the mag.
