      The problem lies then you think, I`ll go back and get another, but worry they will realise the mistake, or think you are trying it on. :hapfeet:

      Went back to my nearest Wilkos where the 75% off seeds wasn't working and the 75% off signs and all the seeds underneath have disappeared but found them in the reduction area all at 10p/pkt.

      Round black plastic pots now 5p whatever the size, but round terra cotta coloured plastic pots have gone back up to full price! Square plastic pots and cell tray inserts also full price. Doesn't make any sense whatsoever and I half expect virtually everything sold off cheap to re-appear again at full price.

          10m of 25mm galvanised mesh 900mm high fencing reduced to only £5 - ideal for anti-rabbit fencing.

          If your local store also has a £7.50 shelf edge label for this fencing, you can assist them (in avoiding confusion) by chucking it to one side and if they try and charge you £7.50 at the checkout, just show them the remaining £5 price label - worked for me!

          The green plastic coated 900mm x 10m is £6 instore, but I don't find this as robust as the galvanised stuff.

          Went into our local store the other day and heard two staff talking about the prices on the reduced gardening items, most was already half price or more but one was saying they're all wrong - they should be reduced further!! For example reed fencing was priced at 50% off but the member of staff said it should only be £2 a roll!! Think I'll be popping in again tomorrow :)

              £7.50 for 30m's of heavy duty (Average duty IMHO) hose a bargain I cannot buy it that cheap at trade prices so lap it up whilst you can.

              £1 for a spray bottle and 50p a hose fitting as well wilko's is the place this month.

                Now reduced to only £3 a roll, only about £24 to rabbit proof an entire 10 pole plot. 600mm x 10m galvanised mesh reduced to £2.50, 600mm isn't high enough for anti-rabbit fencing, but two widths high would be only £5/metre. I got a load to extend my protected areas. Same prices online but sold out.

                5m rolls of green plastic climbing plant mesh 500mm wide with 50mm mesh reduced to £2.50 (from £7). I got some for growing the likes of polytunnel cucumbers and cucamelons. Also £2.50 online if anybody wants to order and collect instore http://www.wilko.com/canes plant-supports/wilko-clem-climb-support-grn5mx500mm/invt/0063756 plus there's Topcashback for online orders. Be quick as there's only 4 left.

                Wilko seeds (doesn't appear to include Johnsons) now 50% off PLUS 3 for the price of 2, both discounts get taken off. I got 3 packets of £1.30 seeds for £1.20 when it should have been £1.30 with both discounts, so even better (60 seeds for £1.20 for small plants that will sell @ 50p each). Don't forget you need to do multiple shops of the same price seeds in multiples of 3 to get the max discount. This is also online! (where there might be a better selection + cashback. Once again always keep orders of same price seeds separate or you'll only get the cheapest ones free)

                Here's links filtered to include only Wilkos' seeds

                You have to go there every day to check for bargains when they start coming thick and fast, they must be desperately clearing space for Halloween stuff.
