  • Cheap soft and hard fruit.........

    Just been to the local Instore to get some more cheap flower bulbs. I got some that were reduced from £2.00 to £1.00 and recently 50p!

    Anyway, went back to get some more today and shock, horror, they had all been sold, but........

    They now have Blackcurrants,Redcurrants and Gooseberies at £1.99 each!

    They also have a small selection of bare rooted fruit bushes, I got myself a self pollinating cherry tree for £4.99. I also bought two large square onrnamental plant pots (roughly 15" square) buy one get one free! Worked out at £1.50 each!

    I have planted one of these up with 20 mixed daffodils, using the contents of one of the grow bags I got earlier in the year for 49p!

    Total cost of large planted tub = £2.50! Can't be bad now can it?

    That's amazing! I only ever get bargains at car boot sales! Well done. You'll enjoy your bargains all the more later when they've come into fruit. Wish we had had Instore - I'd be there before you could say BOGOF!

            Ok Chaps and chapesses here's another one for you!

            Just been to Morrisons (loads of these about so shouldn't be a problem) and they have, along with rose bushes, soft fruit bushes!!! They have Blackcurrants, Redcurrants and Gooseberries all at £1.29p!!! Yep thats right, £1.29 each and they are strong healthy looking plants! Not named varieties, but at £1.29 what do you want, blood????

            My fruit garden is expanding by the week, I must stop buying them or else I'll have no room left for veg!!!

              Ooohhh Snadger this all sounds too interesting by far.

              And both Morrisons and In-store are roughly in the same area.

              Hmmm - I do need to do some studying tomorrow though most urgently

                  Thanks NOG. Although I am sure there will be protests if I buy any more fruit bushes. Would love some more raspberry's though.

                  will have got some of my studying done by then too.

                  Happy days.

                            We don't have any of those shops in Tunbridge Wells and our Morrisons has closed down, I did notice some very healthy lemon trees at the farmer's market for £25, seen these in catalogues for over £40 for this size. I can get herbs, shrubs and some bulbs at the fms but no cheapo stuff, so shall just have to envy you all.
                            I suppose I could trek out to Wyvale but then I have to drag everything home on the bus or pay £8.50 for delivery which rather defeats the object.
