                  I've just checked online and seeds are half price and 3 for 2! Johnsons Seeds Spring Onion White Lisbon Put 3 in your basket and the multisave will kick in.

                  The bad news is that all they have left online are packets of Johnsons Spring Onions.

                  But if working that way online, then probably same instore. Example 3 pkts @ £1 each = £3, less 50% = £1.50, less 50p for the multisave = £1 for 3 pkts = 33p/pkt = 67% saving. NB Buy in multiples of 3 same cost seeds to get full 67% saving.

                    Noticed the Lisbon spring onion seeds online this morning 3am were half price, none of the prices on the SEL (shelf edge label) were marked down so didn't bother picking them up.. that was one of 2 wilkos. Going to the other one tomorrow.

                    Tomato pour and feed is down to 50p, 3ltr pour and feed £1.35, super phosphate £2, easy flower box £1.25, terracotta planters £2.25 each and olive pots are 75p ..excuse my manky toes. Bbq stuff and "easy" firelogs half price.

                      Loads of stuff has gone missing from their website, indicating it's probably been reduced nationally.

                        Bought 3 packets of 75p seeds, marked as half price but they came through the till at 35p each (either 53 or 54% off :rolleyespink:). No 3 for 2 multisave, but in the past I've found it'll work at some stores and not others. I'll try another Wilko on Sunday.

                            All the seeds/pots/trays etc disappeared from ours without a sale three weeks ago when they just replaced them with the Spring bulbs.

                            The bulbs this year aren't even worth looking at. There are about 6 varieties of Narcissi, 3 Hyacinth, 10 Tulips and then just odd packets. And the way they've displayed them us diabolical , they've just put different colours on different shelves so if you want to see what Tulips ( for example ) they have you have to keep walking up and down the aisle.

                              I went last Saturday, and there was a massive wall of bulbs for Spring - tulips, iris, narcissus, allium and so on, lots of varieties! @KFF sounds like your branch is maybe in a transition - had they still got garden furniture and so on in the area?

                              Also haven't been to have a look at the seed sale yet, but going to keep an open mind on that, as a fair few places online (premier seeds direct for one!) tend to have quite cheap seeds on veg most of the time anyway! :)
