Can anyone tell me the price of seed potatoes in the UK?

In France they are 6-7 € for 5 kg. and I need a few packs. Since I am going to the UK next month and being curious I wonder if they are cheaper in the UK.

Just paid £3 for 10kg at the allotment assoc shed on Saturday. Not sure about the shops locally.

Edited to change the 10 to 3.5kg  hope you haven't read the first post attempt MAK

D. T. Browns are 1.5 kg a pack @ mainly £4.75 for 1 pack , or £3.80 for 3 or more .
A few are £4.45 and £3.56 , and some are £4.95 and £3.96 .
Not cheap .

I usually get mine at a trade price and i aim for about £1 per kilo. I could get this down if i had more because I used to order for a few people but it became a bit of a nuisance.

For a guaranteed order they prefer to receive the order in November.

comparing the price of seed potatoes with the cheap price of potatoes after last years excellent cropping meant I couldn't justify paying out for seed potatoes this year. For the amount I planted and the work involved I'd have just as well bought them in.

This year i'm planting some of last years excess crop instead of buying seed

£19 for 25kg sack but I bought through a garden centre who added it to their order and they paid the carriage (which was £45)

thanks all - Last year i used the previous years spuds rather than buy seed.
I'll buy them here as all the supermarkets, garden centres etc have a price war going on. The local speciality here is potatoe pie and there is a great range and selection on sale. I'm going for Mona Lisa this year.
we have Collarado beetle so I need to get some virgin land ploughed over by my neighbour and plant the spuds there.
Charlotte are 21€ for 25 kg

Does anyone know how much a half hundredweight sack should cost from a producer?

in fact, can anyone suggest a reputable grower in the Banff, Turriff, Huntly or Keith areas?
