There was a little confusion in Swansea. Some staff thought it was just items with a line through the barcode. Fortunately they resolved the confusion and declared it was on *everything*

All my self discipline immediately dissolved and I came away with 24 packets of seed after about 45 minutes of dithering. Lots to choose from - too much for my pea brain in fact.

And sorry... must add, thanks to Chris for the heads up.

I'm back too. Not saying how many packets I bought
It was better than normal as they'd left the packets on the display racks so there was no unseemly furtling. The man said that they had been told to put them all on a big table but hadn't thought it a good idea - so left them on display.
Everything with a black line through the bar code - the multipacks of 4 or 5 varieties are very good value. Sweetpeas, sunflowers, nasturtiums etc - normally £4.95 for 50p
A lot of Franchi & Seeds of Italy seeds - but I already had most of them from last year
Bought some odd things - like papaya and pomegranate seeds and some Green manure.
Also Atena courgette and Emir melon that I've see recommended on here.
TBH, don't know what I did buy altogether
Bought some NH MPC - 5 bags for £16 so I can get some of these seeds going now - no excuses!!

Ok, I give in, please tell me what is NH MPC? ( multi purpose compost?) ok what about NH?

You're not thick Dotty - you're half right Its New Horizon Multi purpose compost

....and some Green manure.

Snap! Got the exact above too.

I did not allow myself to look at anything other than seeds though, I was partially well behaved.

Sadly my local store had taken most of them off the displays and put them in a big trolley. I was told they were destined for a big table though!

I spent about an hour and half going through what I thought was the lot... as I approached the tills I realised that some mad fool had put another two trolleys full of seeds at the exit! I have to admit I didn't have the staying power for another 3 hours of seed packet sifting so that will have to wait for the weekend!

Came away with 51 packs! Not all for me though, at least 10 for a friend and some destined to be sent to my sister!

Far less beans and squash than last year so I may need to actually order some at full price!

I'm fairly sure I went in repeating the mantra of... 'I don't need more tomato seeds, I don't need more tomato seeds'... I'm absolutely sure I cam out with at least 2 more packs of tomato seeds!

I feel so much better now, vikki but I still bought more than you

[daviddevantnhisspiritwife]

Vikkib and VC, you make me feel like a veritable miser having only purchased 24....

[veggiechicken]

Just go back tomorrow and buy another lot...................you know you want to
Remember, its an investment. Next year, prices will go up and you'll be laughing because you've stocked up at bargain prices.
(That's what I'm telling myself anyway)

[bearded bloke]

Ohhhhhhhhh,tomorrow's scooter rides methinks

BB, I bought some seeds today with you in mind - Mixed Cactus from the T&M World Garden range. If you'd like them I'll post them to you
