Offers that are so overpriced, they can't be true!!

For example, Sarah Raven is asking £5.95 for 5 onion seedlings. Even if they grow into whopping great onions, they can't be worth £1.20 each - and that assumes they all grow.

Wow that’s some expensive onions ! To be fair I think you need to take out a mortgage to buy anything from Sarah Raven.
It’ll be interesting to see what other expensive deals everyone can find.

May be she knows inflation is set to accelerate.

but you could get 4.5g of seeds for 99p which, even if they don't grow so big will get you a lot of onions:

Marshalls Special offer on "Garden ready vegetable plants for less than 75p per plant". 

Would anyone in their right minds pay £8.99 for 12 beetroot seedlings?........or 12 Spring onions or lettuce. Worse still, 12 Carrots. How will they grow? 
Even the most expensive shops would have difficulty selling a single beetroot for 75p!

if you have some spare cash you want to get rid of Marshalls are selling Organic Extra compost for £44.98 for 88 litres must be really good stuff to cost that much.
