A Wilko shopper has revealed how she filled her trolley after spotting a 5p bargain in her local store. The woman grabbed hundreds of discounted seed packets, some of which had been £1 each before the huge reduction.
 She bought a whopping 533 packets, which came to £26 .65 . 
She wrote: "533 packets of seeds for £26 .65! 

5 pence a packet reduced at Wilko."

Could this have been Veggie?
Sorry for all the gumpf around this message. I cut and pasted it!

EDIT I waved my magic wand and it disappeared. Wink
No not Veggie, she'd have wanted them for free Big Grin
Sounds likes someone is going to have an eBay listing day! Big Grin
I wish it was me Wink
A few years ago I did have a Wilko seed bargain though. They were selling bags of random seed packets for £1. You couldn't see what was inside the bags but, with a bit of shaking, fondling and weighing the bags against each other you could have a guess if they were worth buying. Can't remember how many I bought - about 16 I think. I still have some of the seeds - it was so exciting opening the bags. Big Grin
I hope she left some for others or is giving them away to people.

Lucky bags!  Big Grin
I have never done it it with seeds- but the OH still remembers being very embarrassed when i filled up my trolley with over 40 large cartons of cream at 10pence each

Clever !

Just seen this on FB -
If you going to town in Haverfordwest Wilko and interested to buy seeds, 5p for all seeds, plenty of seeds left. No sign of 5p but you can ask staff to scan to double check.
Every little help in this challenging time to grow your own vegetables and plenty of wildflowers seeds too...
