If you're prepared to hunt around a little you can find seeds at very
reduced prices in stores that stock them 'seasonally'. That's to say
they don't carry seeds all year round, only during spring - after
which time they're remaindered.
I bought a load of seeds from Woolworths at about half price - all
packed this year with sow-by dates into next year and beyond.

Another option is to consider joining a local horticultural society -
many of these operate a bulk-buying scheme.

Netto's seeds are 19p- not a big selection and certainly no grapes.

Wilkinsons usually have a good selection, starting from around 39p. You can
also get FREE seeds, for example, when you buy peppers (capsicums) for
eating, keep the seeds and plant them.

Focus (DIY barn also going by names like Octopus and Great Mills) have a
good range at 69p.
