Above: 29p packet of seeds from supermarket chain Lidl. There is a range marked 1, 2, 3 according to price. Bark chip sacks of 40 litres at ?2.99 and 20-litre sacks of compost as well.
Other cheap seed sources include variety store Wilkinson's which offers a 3 for 2 on seeds, with the lowest packet price at 49p. Cheapest compost 15L at 97p to ?1 depending on which week it is.
Craft and book chain The Works has a 3 for 2 on seeds as well, with a surprising variety of herbs, flowers and vegetables on offer.
The 99p Store and Poundland are both selling multi-packs (you know what they cost) with three varieties or more per pack. Both stores also have bulbs and sets on offer and live boxed plants such as gooseberry, rosebush, honeysuckle etc. Both also have pots, compost.
What have you found and where? Any wildflower mixes? I've not seen any yet.
