Half price seeds at Wilkos

Yesterday (02.04.16), I went in to my local Wilkinson (Wilko) store and bought some African Marigold seeds. When I went to the check out, I brought it to the attention of the lady on the till that I thought the total amount should be more than what she had said. She explained that all seeds were half price! Good for me that I had chosen the more expensive Johnson brand I thought. Original price was £2.10 and I got them for £1.05. See, I did go to school (some of the time). 
The “sow by date” on the packet I bought is 2019, so maybe a good idea to grab a few packets if you`re like me-a seedy person lol. So, I am just giving you good people the heads-up for a bit of a bargain. I don`t know how long the ½ price offer is on for, so go plough your soil and scatter!

Brilliant offer YC, wish I had one near me.
see, us that didn't attend school too often do get our priorities right and know what's half price and what's not.
Thanks young codger. I love a bargain! Treated myself to some seeds from Chiltern Seeds yesterday. They come in at around £2 a packet.
I use wilco .com on line they charge £4 carriage but there plant pots etc are so cheap it's worth it GC are so expensive for plant pots
I mentioned on another thread this morning ( can't remember which ) at the end of last season I bought seeds from wilko reduced to 10p a packet, many with 2 years left on the sow by date.
15 m hoses with connectors for £1.50 ( I bought 9 of them )
packs of 50 plant labels for 20p
Check them out at the end of the season for major bargains.
I've used their own brand seeds for years and have never been let down.
I can vouch for that Hosta, mine have germinated that you gave me. If you go again could you pick up a few packets of labels please, and something permanent that will stay on them.
Lyn, Have some labels next time you're round. I think I can spare a pack or two.
You're more than welcome to them.
Lyn, I've put two packs in the utility room for you . Remind me when you're next round. There's a little pencil in each pack too.
Hostafan1, just curious what did you do with 9 hoses? Did you join them together to use on a large allotment for example. Or, maybe you sold them on fleabay?
It is sometimes hard to resist a bargain even if we don`t have an immediate need for the item. I`m just just like you sometimes. (Anyone have a use for 19 tins of purple paint).
I love a bargain. Here are some of mine from the end of season sales in wilko. The twine was 10p, half size propagator lids 5p, seed trays 25p, lots of 10p square pots and I got the labels for 5p. All the seeds were 75% off and the 3 for 2 offer still worked.
For anyone looking this year the silly prices seem to start when they're clearing the shelves for Halloween tat and they want to get rid quick.
