Just been in the local 99p shop and they have gooseberry, blackberry, blackcurrant, and redcurrant.  Didn't see any rasps or blueberries.

So, 3 x redcurrants @99p, 4 x blueberries @ £1.29 and 8 garden arches @ £2.50.  Love a bargain!

I bought 1 blueberry and 1 goosberry today.
They are very small, about 8"-12", but worth a try for £1.29 each.

I had a look in my local Lidl, but they looked awful: very small indeed, rather dead-looking and some of them mouldy - and that was on Thursday, the first day they were in stock. I think this is one thing I'll order from a nursery, or look for in a garden centre. I don't want to be disappointed next summer!

B&Q are doing 3 for £10, i picked up a red gooseberry, Redcurrant and blueberry today.
They are a lot bigger and greener than the Lidl ones and in pots.

Potted up the Lidl blueberries today.  They are small but I bought four plants and actually got 8 rooted stems so well pleased!

I hope that they turn out to be blueberries. Last year, another plotter bought some from Lidl and they turned out to be miniature roses!!!

Well they might not be the blackberries I was after but I have to say they are superb raspberries! bought for 99p back in the spring they are only 18" tall but they have been covered in lush fruit for weeks! have tried again at £1 25 each and chose plants with thorns on the stem so fingers crossed
this was taken 2 days ago

I picked up 5 blueberries from lidl all apppear healthy & 2 of them had berries on them so they are definitely the right thing.
I also picked up a fig (brown turkey), jostaberry, loganberry, tayberry & tummelberry for a fiver on the market yesterday when I went to collect the japanese onion sets I had asked them to get me.

Lidl will have apple, cherry, pear & plum trees @ £3.99 each (http://www.lidl.co.uk/uk/home.nsf/pages/c.o.20081023.p.Fruit_Trees.ar5) & crab apples @ £4.99 each (http://www.lidl.co.uk/uk/home.nsf/pages/c.o.20081023.p.Ornamental_Trees.ar5) on Thursday the 23rd.

I bought 9 blueberries from them with the intention of nurturing them over winter in the greenhouse and then using them to edge a new strawberry bed - when I came to pot them on today, not only was the compost bone dry but not a single one had any root system whatsoever - just been blasting them on the phone  >:( and even at £1.29 each this is still bad - it is pot luck really I guess

No soft fruit left at my local Lidl yesterday, only a few blackberries....I also went to B&Q to see if they had any of the Blueberries mentioned in an earlier post, no soft fruit at all!! :'(

Deb, if you have a 99p shop near you, they should be doing soft fruit - my local branch has bluebs, rasps, currants, goosebs, etc.
