Chiltern Seeds Bargain Basement - 10 packets of flower & ornamental seed for £4.45 and 10 packets of vegetable & herb seeds for £4.95.
I confess to having ordered 5 x 10 packets of veg seeds (£27.20) . May be more expensive than the previous post for T&M seeds but I'm more likely to have better results from Chiltern Seeds.

T&M consistently have the worst germination rates of any seed supplier I've used. Have you ever noticed how their seed sales often contain the same varieties year after year? Seems to me like they are selling us old seed. At least DT Brown warn you that the packets are short dated.

Veggie, I see you in the reviews on the bargain packs and one dates back to 2016! Just how many packets of seed have you had from them?

TMTT. you don't expect me to remember "how many" do you? (Or confess if I did?  )
I buy from them every year but my purchases have changed over the year. I always buy the "Bargain basement seeds". Initially, they didn't sell the Veg selection separately, just flowers with some veg mixed in, and I would buy enough of these to give me Free P&P - usually bought as a pretend Christmas present to myself. Now I buy mostly Veg mixes with a few flowers to make up the numbers.
I reckon that at less than 50p a packet, they're a bargain as its hard to buy any seeds for cheap these days. OK, I don't know what I'm buying but, again for £5 if I only grow half of the seeds they're still a bargain.
