Just seen my local woolworth's are doing all Mr Mothergills seeds for 60p per pack.  Includes peas and beans, so a good saving on those.

I'll post in a separate post as well, but thought I'd drop it in here.

Chappy.

After Northerner's post I went to my local branch on Monday and they're not half price either.  Still bought some though on the 3 for 2.

No sign of the seed sale at my local either, according to the website, but thanks for the alert, northener.

I was in the local one on Sunday and no half-price seeds.  They're still on the 3 for 2 they've been all season and there are hardly any left so I'm not hopeful.  A few seed trays were down to half price but that's all so far.

Haven't tried my local store in Wolves recently, but half-price sale still on in Stourbridge, West Midlands.  Seeds, trellis, tools, watering-cans, wire mesh, plastic mesh etc. Plenty of stuff to have a look at.  ;D
