Time for a shameless plug: *

They're not the cheapest seed source, but if you can spend a little extra
space to raise your own..... *those sprouts are more effort, being
biennials, but you get a _lot_ of seed for your effort, and it lasts quite
a while.

All this talk of cheap seed,
Look at it another way, what do you actualy pay per seed?
It's the cheapest part of gardening.
More to the point often is how many seeds in a packet,
Do you want to pay for 1000 seeds if you only want 20 or 30 plants?
Even if you pay £5.00 for your cabbage seed, set that against 1
cabbage costing 50p or more, and you will see what I am getting at.
