Try your local Allotment Association shop
Ours is selling 15 different varieties this year, prices held over from last year at   £1.90 for  3 kg   :o  - fantastic value !

We have formed a group and buy wholesale, this year they are 35p per lb.

TG,

Did you know that Kings offer discount on seeds to purchasing groups like the one you've set up? They wouldn't beat your spud prices but you can get up to 50% on seeds and no postage!

First lot from T&M arrived this morning....only another 3 lots to arrive then! Dunno why they haven't arrived together, ordered at the same time! :-\

The only advantage of ordering collections as I have done this year is that it is my first year of growing potatoes, and I have no idea what varieties are going to do well on my soil. I can also try small amounts of more varieties to see what I like! Hopefully this time next year I'll have a better idea of what works and what I like...well, that's the theory anyway. ;D
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴
