Title: 42L plastic tubs, £1.69 at Tesco
Post by: hellohelenhere on July 11, 2009, 20:21:53

If you have a large branch of Tesco near you - they're doing large flexi-tubs in black for £1.69 each - make excellent planters, I have grown lettuces and beans in them this year with great success.
cheers,

The lurid yellow (42l) ones are 25p at the mo'. Probably not as aesthetically pleasing as the black, but if you need a flexi-tub for lugging stuff around they'll do the job.

Bought 4 of the bright yellow ones on Friday at our Tescos. They were 75p. Must depend on which part of the country you are in for the price. :)

I bought some yellow one's for 75p last weekend (the black ones were £3-ish at that point), yesterday both had been reduced further.  ;) Mind you, my local store still had shelves full of the things; they were probably desperate to free up the space for new stock.  :D

Late July = gardening stuff - out,  back to school stuff - in (even before the kids have broken up for the hols).

Gardening bargains should be appearing at a store near you !

And thats not just Tesco, check out Wilko's, their normally good for a bargain this time of year.

For those SAA members - Get yer running shoes on for the stamped for those reduced price seeds.
