I had a look yesterday and they were selling them at 50% off. I think they did this last year as well. I think the 50p/packet offer started after that!

I was afraid that I'll be away when their 50p offer comes around, so I called in today to stock up on the 50% off deal. Asked when the 50p offer starts - they don't reckon it's going to happen this year at our local shop because the 50% off take-up has been so good :o

I normally do it in 2 passes - pass 1 is where i get the varieties that I really want @ half price then second visit to get the ones I'm less fussy about at 50p.

Just got back and to be honest I dont think there will be much left for the 50p offer - maybe the rise in veggie growing has really depleted stocks this year.

Yes that is what I was thinking Barking dog!

Keep your eyes open folks! I am not sure that I need many this year - but hopefully I will see when it starts and hurtle the 50 odd miles round trip - which will probably make the trip pointless in trying to save money on seeds and paying a shed load in petrol!!

Doh!

Deb P · « **Reply #12 on:** August 18, 2008, 18:00:18 »

Any news on this yet?? ;D

Amazin · « **Reply #13 on:** August 19, 2008, 01:41:45 »

Well....

On the website is a section headed 'Half Price Killer Deals'. There's a mixture of things from garden furniture to compost, but also one that says simply 'Half price on selected lines'. There's no further info other than 'see instore for details'

Have a look:
http://www.wyevale.co.uk/WYE_KILLER_OFFERS/WYE_KILLER_OFFERS,default,pg.html

Could this be what we're hoping for?

My nearest one is still a bit too far to just nip to, but if anyone else has a branch nearby, could they have a quick shufty and report back?

Deb P · « **Reply #14 on:** August 19, 2008, 03:13:57 »

I'll pop in today and have a quick recce...... ;)

OllieC · « **Reply #16 on:** August 19, 2008, 12:20:44 »

I'd noticed that too but following more investigation - the price is for a set - so I guess that makes it not so bad.

Thank goodness for that. I wonder how many are in a bag though.
