Thought it might be an idea to post any high street bargains to be had so we can all take advantage. not one off but genuine bargains.
Homebase yesterday had a new 'Grow your own range' I bought
Thornless Blackberries
Thornless Loganberries
Blueberry's
Raspberry's
All for £1.99 each, not a sale offer, this is the normal price but I should think at that price they will go fast.
Anybody spotted anything else? :) :)
-
I picked up Tesco's basics toothpaste last week. Ingredients are the same as branded stuff but this cost me 47p!! The taste is really nice too.
-
great idea juliag ,
i'll try and keep my ear to the ground ( inside information!!! ;))
-
I received my free fig tree on Saturday! It was only £ 3.99 for P&P. It's only 40 cm tall, but still a good offer!

Homebase again.... £9.99 for plum trees. I bought a victoria plum and another type of plum both 5 1/2 - 6 foot tall, look healthy so very pleased. The start of my mixed orchard.
Morrisons............ 8 large plastic pots for 99p. no drainage holes but easy to do yourself and a bonus as I am planning on selling cut flowers at the gate this summer and they will hold water beautifully, a perfect size and shape. :)
-
Watch out for the fruit trees at Lidl this Thursday (£ 3.99) and their seeds are good value, too (not organic) at about 20 % of mail order catalogue prices

Homebase again! Noted their "plant of the month" is fruit trees. Plum, Greengage, Apple (noted russet but I think other kinds too), Pear all priced £9.99. Not a bad deal. I'm thinking of gettng a Greengage myself.
-
Homebase again! All compost for tubs, hanging baskets half price. This includes biggest sacks of miracle grow compost for £2.98 instead of £5.99. :D
-
Not Homebase this time.... Mole Valley farmers have Organic compost, (large bags the same size as large compost bags) on offer for £1.98 a bag instead of £6.99!!!!!! Going tomorrow to stock up with as much as my 4x4 will take, they also have organic suttons seeds for veg and herbs at 20% below the retail price. If we get organic seeds and organic compost and plant in pots can I sell the resulting produce at my gate as organic? :-\
-
B&Q have 20l bags of multi purpose compost on offer for £1 at the moment! ;D
-
Lidls are doing their fruit trees again - £3.99 each. Just bought a plum and a Bramley. They're young and will be 2 years or so before they fruit (have had them before), but they are usually very healthy trees.
-
Lidl again from next Thursday (19th). Multi purpose compost 40 l £ 1.99 or 30 l of peat free. Soft fruit pack of 3 £ 2.49 (they tend to be quite small), roses £ 1.49 :&>
-
bird sead can be bought quite cheaply from lidls and also poundland has birdsead
lidls i think about 99p a bag and i think the stuff in poundland is a £1 a bag too
-
I went to poundland after Lidl last week - their pack of fat balls has 8 or 10, Lidl's only 6. They go really quick in this kind of weather!
-

Tesco this time! Fruit trees are in, but not as big trees as at Homebase. They vary in price from £4 to £8. They also had Rowan, Ash, and Willow trees too. I got a willow for £4 myself.
Also Morrison- 3 litre plastic jug for a £1. We use these for keeping milk in and measuring etc- not sure if anyone else would find useful, but a great bargin.

Tesco's veg u grow original priced at £2 a pack but our have reduced quite a lot of them to £1 , they also have u grow flowers at £1.50 a pack reduced. the veg that i could see where tomatoes and peppers i got some of the tomatoes (as i can't touch peppers, allergies) the tomatoes i got where tumbling tom and gardeners delight (each pack had a minimal of four seedling in them but some had two to a section so i think a good price!

Good thing about a recession is there are plenty of bargains to be had - if you have the money and/or a stable income.

Just managed to get hold of one tray each of salad plants at Lidl today - crispy and oriental - at 99p each for about 10 plants. They keep them with the salad vegetables! I've seen them before , so they are not a special! They are supposed to be kept on a window sill but they look perfectly alright for separating and planting out to me. Bargain! :&>

Where is Poundland?
-
Hi, poundland is just up from the Library and Lloyd's TSB but it is moving to the old Woolworths site in the centre of Alloa, I only pop in when I do banking as the temptation to buy sweeties is too great for me! :'(
-
Can't go anywhere today - waiting for David to come and start my car so I can go to Agility with Freckles. It is just turning over not firing.
-
Hope i'ts sorted soon, my VW is now in another garage!!!!!!!

Another shop keeper told me that so how true that is? it makes sense and I noticed the shelves were a bit empty last Friday.
