WOW! ~ WHAT A BARGAIN AT B&Q....................

14 comments


Walking round B&Q yesterday, believe it or not, these primroses found their way into my shopping trolley. No sign of any deals on them anywhere, but when we got to the till to pay, we discovered that instead of the potted ones being 78p each, there was a multibuy price. Instead of paying £2.34 for 3, the multibuy price was 99p each which worked out at 33p (less than half price)……What a bargain!!!!

Great stuff! I am starting to find better bargains in supermarkets and D.I.Y stores than actual garden centres - our Focus also has loads of nice bargains. B&Q is usually good for offers - we had our Banboo from there and a lot of the grasses too! Plus our turf was B&Q

I find Morrison's very good ,they are just starting to get their perennials in ,I got two bare rooted hardy geraniums for £2( splish splash variety) and 15 anemone bulbs for£1, also yesterday they had packet's of 3/5 daffs for 30p.We just need the weather now so we can get back out in the garden. Your bargain primroses are lovely.

Lovely primmies! I got some at the market last week-end @ 3 for £1, so you beat the market by 1p. :-)

I agree with you all - Morrison's and The Range (if you have one - it's newish to us) have some great deals if you don't mind not having rarities. Lidl is worth checking too - we keep an eye on their website and go when they have interesting plants in. I got several patio roses there last spring, 2 for £3. They flowered all summer and are putting on new growth now, ready for me to give them a light trim in a month or so.

They are lovely, we dont have B&Q but do have both the supermarkets, Homebase and Focus, I absolutely love to see a display of Primroses so seeing yours is tempting me....
