Bargain Wilko's Half Price Sale, a

I didn't manage to get in store until today and picked up quite a few packets of F1 seed.

 

Blew another £1.20 instore today, mainly on Wilko seeds @ 10p/packet, and a couple of expensive Johnsons F1s @ 30p each.

The Wilko multipacks of 6 pkts, previously £3, now 10p are amazing value, 1.5p per packet is bordering on being free (my favourite price).

Taking into account the multipacks, they worked out at 5p/pkt overall.

 

How's the hunting going? Been quite crud for me. Bought a dibber/planting line, gloves, potato sacks and some flower mix boxes.. can't remember how much but not fantastic prices. All seeds had gone

 

Alas my local wilko has run dry, last bargain was a sankey growarm 100 heated propagator for £5 a few weeks ago.

 

Bought some 600mm high rolls of 10m long 'chicken' mesh for £1/roll yesterday, laced together 2 rolls high with cheap wire, that's rabbit fencing for about 21p/metre + posts, for which old gazebo poles can usually be obtained FOC around this time of year when the first autumn storms destroy them.

For campers/sleepovers they have single and double airbeds for only £2 each.

 

Will keep an eye out for the propagator and the double airbeds. Ta both.

 

I’m after some compost for my raised beds, need quite a few prob 10 to 20 bags, where’s best store or online B&M or Wilkos no good as I can’t get my trailer anyway near

 

@Jimcub don't know if this of use but it seems local to you.

Wilko ice scraper/squeegees reduced to 10p. Bought an extra one for a congratulations on passing your driving test present.

 

Nets of seed spuds, onion sets, etc. now buy 2 get 1 free.

For example, that's 3x2Kgx£2.50 bags of spuds for £5, only 83p/Kg

 

Thanks, Scrungee. Will give Wilko a quick once over tomorrow as could do with some shallots.

 

Just bought 2 nets of shallots in morrisons, no variety name,but dutch grown organic and only 8p a net.

Now do i munch them or plant them ?

 

Are they long shallots, because I've found they need to be grown from seed and plantings of supermarket ones fail to divide.

 

I dont think they are. I think your right about not splitting. Also read they just bolt ? I kept some of mine over from last year,planted again and seem to be heathy.
Not so sure about these dutch ones? Might just stick a half dozen in a pot and see what happens.
