Needing some more sunflower hearts, I trawled the

a 25Kg sack, the costs were from around £30 to £66.

How do they get away with it!

I know that some may say - "you get what you pay for",
but those prices are ridiculous, and I doubt if the
birds will notice the difference!

Although I'm happy to be proved wrong, £30 for 25Kg of sunflower
hearts sounds very suspicious to me. £50-55 delivered would be
reasonable in today's market, unless you're lucky enough to have some
bulk supplier in the neighbourhood. £66 is probably the RSPB who
always keep their prices down to encourage us to feed the birds (I
jest!).

What I can't get over is the increase in the price of peanuts over the
last year. They'll be going off the menu here once existing stocks
are consumed.
