You can get the same bundle but with 25 plant labels for £3.99 on eBay.

I think mine were free on a magazine cover, years ago. Never use them!

That’s an hilarious joke Big Grin  
I got mine years ago from wilko for about £2 with a seed dispenser as well.

I got a couple from Wilko before they shut down 99p I think.

Mine were also from Wilko, I still use my trusty spoons more than those plastic thingies.

2nd rip-off!
T&M seed tin containing 10 packets of flower seeds £6.99

However, P&P is another £6.99 so that would be £13.98 for 10 packets of random flower seeds and a tin. Not tempted!

Both T&M and Suttons have been trying to convince us that these tins are a bargain. I don't think so.
