      It can vary greatly from store to store, my local Wilkos hadn't reduced compost when I was there the other day. If products have dissapeared from their website it usually indicates that they have been reduced instore nationally.

        Checking out the price of Tomorite locally, B&Q, Hombase & Wilko are £2.95 for 1L, Wyvale are £3.99, just how can a large garden centre chain charge £1 more?

        They were in the process of knocking down a whole load more stuff this morning, didn't have time to check out exactly what, but I took pics of their sheets of reduced labels that were being implemented

            In my local Wilco, the plant pots shown by @Scrungee were still full price, but the £6 circular green plant supports were down to half price. They are very good and I already have lots in my garden. The others in the plant support range hadn't been reduced ... yet.

              I got some cheap black plastic pots of assorted sizes and a couple of metal obelisks, which were I think 75% off, but they had the reduced price printed on regular shelf edge labels, rather than conspicuously marked as reduced.

                Our local store has started their gardening clearance sale too, mainly hanging baskets and liners so far, all 75% off or more!!

                I stocked up and got this little lot for next year, I can't get them this cheap from my wholesaler :snorky:

                All these for just over £17 :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: (between 40p and 50p each)

                Going to keep going back whilst they keep filling the shelves :spinning:

                  Going to go check tomorrow if they have any seed reductions :yes:

                  Hope they do and hope there are some left.

                  They have the pots and saucers as well as seed trays and cells marked down and particularly good prices but still nobody was buying it so the lady doing the reductions was going to ask if they can reduce them further. She said the always do their reductions on Thursday.

                  Helpful Information I thought.:hapfeet:

                    My local Wilkos have now increased the price of their reduced pots :rolleyespink:

                    They must've reduced their stock levels to the required amount.

                        25cm plant pots were 50p each but had sold out. 20cm plant pots £1 each!! What....?!

                        I made use of the offers on hanging baskets and bought two which can be hung off each other for two layers of flowery joy! £1 in total!

                        Not much else reduced in my local one though.

                          Been itching to get to wilkos the last week.. kind of glad I haven't gone now.

                          Impatiently waiting for seeds to be reduced.

                            Yes, that would be great!! But not such luck at my local one today. Fingers crossed though, at some point soon they will be reduced!
