      And also snacks in 5 flavours for @WeeTam too!

      I'm planning on visiting some of our store garden areas too. Hopefully things will be marked down. If not, I'll wait a little longer.

      I like to get my bags of potting soil about this time. Usually 1/2 price is the lowest they go but it's better than full retail. :)

        Our Wilkinson had nothing reduced. My wife thinks the one in the centre of town would have more. I don't go into town unless I have to.

          Ours has no sale. I asked the assistant manager ( who I know ) and she said it's up to individual store managers and that ours won't be having a sale.

            Been to 3 Wilkos since Sunday and none have any further reductions other than what's been reduced on their website. One even had their bamboo canes at a higher price than online.

            Normally at least one of those stores would have better reductions. Times are hard.

                Diary note - Wilko reduced all seeds to half price instore and online on the 31st of August last year.

                It wont be as good this year because they were slready 3 for 2 and that continued to work in conjunction with 50% off to make them very cheap indeed.

                      Now their seeds have been reduced, I've checked what they now sell and favourites like Ferrari fine french beans are no longer stocked and several others are out of stock, so I saved the grand sum of £2.45

                      But savings all add up, in the last week I've saved over £100 by searching out reductions, freebies, etc, and half of that was free stuff from Wyevale/Blue Diamond.

                      I now await further reduction to 75 percent off or even 10p/pkt. It's been ages since they did 99 percent off and a quirk of rounding reductions up meant I got paid 1p when buying some of the cheapest packets.

                        All seeds now 30p per packet online

                        Flower Bulbs & Seeds | wilko.com (sort by price lowest first to push the full price bulbs to the end)

                        Herb & Spice Seeds | Organic Herb Plants | wilko.com

                        Vegetable & Fruit Seeds | Seeds & Bulbs | Wilko


                        Just finished my seed purchases for 2019 with an online collect from store order. As soon as I saw Halloween stuff on the website I went straight to the gardening products to see what was being cleared to make room for it.

                        I previously thought the Johnsons seeds still too expensive even at half price, but at 30p they're a bargain. I still compared every Wilko pkt against Johnsons and bought the ones with the most seeds in.



                        P.S. Might be worthwhile checking prices of pots, seed trays, cell trays, etc. to see what they've now gone down to. EDIT: Wilko have moved pots, cell trays, bamboo canes and some other stuff into 'seeds and bulbs' :rolleyespink: so it appeared missing indicating final instore reductions.

                        P.P.S. Their garlic bulbs appear to be gigantic! Wilko Bulbs Garlic Germidour | Wilko

                        Bulb size: 16-19cm

                          Not much stock left now since I ordered my 22 packets this morning.

                          EDIT: It was posted on a deals website around 5pm, so that probably explains it.

                          Also instore, and Wilko seeds are only 10p
