I normally buy marriages layers pellets and pay 7.20 per 20kg sack but then when i order in bulk this goes down to 7.00 per sack.
I'd also like to know if there are any other good prices out there so will watch this thread.  :thumbsup:

I buy heygates layers from the local farm shop and pay 6.70 for 20kg I only buy 3 at a time so no bulk discount.
This is in Northampton and also where the Heygates mill is.  There is a shop less than a mile from the heygates mill that charges more than I pay  :rant:

one tonne tote bag here think with postage converts £9 per 20kg organic - very very impressed with quality and ingredients.  HiPeak.

Barley and wheat @ £6.50/25kg, layers pellets @ £7/25kg and lots of interesting free-range insects and grubs @ £0/kg. :)
