How much did they end up, cost-wise?

Unfortunately our branch have sold out already, last week it was just
a few herbs and common annuals left.

At 75% off does it matter really?

It was just for interest as I got a load of seeds this week from Aldi at
29p/packet, including peas and broad beans.
So, yes, it matters that I'd like to know from Dave if you have no objection
to that.
Did you mean to be rude?

You'd be surprised at how fast lots and lots of packets at 25p end up
costing! *cough*cough*

You're kidding, right? I've seen rude, and that wasn't it.
(Oops....perhaps this is?)
No offence intended.

As a colonial, all I know about Tesco is that they're a discounter, so 75%
off that is likely a good deal. I save a lot of my own seeds, but there's
always something new in those shiny catalogs that arrive in the midst of a
blizzard that I just HAVE to have!

How much they ended up at depended on how much they were to start
with,
The Runner beans I bought ended up at 79p, the leeks were 37p, but
packets were at various prices depending what they were.

yes!

netto (god rest her shelves and all who shopped in her) seeds were 19p

There's some nice cheap seed shops online so why spend more. Every
little helps!

If you want cheap but good seed have a look here.

They don't have a website (that I can find) but give them a ring and
they will send you a catalogue.
They are near Northampton and I have been very pleased with there seed.
eg Broad beans = £1/£1,50 half pint
Runner beans = £2 Half pint
packet seeds run around 80p per packet

Phone No is 01604 810826

A "discounter"? I'll be telling Her Majesty about that ...

Have you been smoking the Morning Glory seeds behind the bike sheds
again?

Is that a recommendation?

I must admit looking through the catalogues during the winter is rather
enjoyable but these days it takes a lot for me to be tempted.

Only if the original price was realistic, unlike their half-price wine which was originally advertised at 3 times a sensible price.

quantities which suits me.
