Big expenditure in Morrison's this morning:
Two indoor plants:-
one looks like a small aspidistra with creamy spathe flowers- badly drooping ... 5 pence- looks pretty healthy after a good soak
Other is an indoor fern- may survive- also 5 pence

Outdoor shrub: sad looking bare stem (ha, but I can see little buds lurking) was £2- honeyberry morena fruit plant- Lonicera caerulea now all of 10 pence

Don't think I was robbed!!
Chance of some yummy berries in the summer from my sad little twiggy shrub- hope so

I got some free plants at my partners work just after xmas. Christmas rose and some hyiantias both came in nice metal containers. There were free to staff

Cant be a bargain even if its a few pence, good find

It is always worth checking out the plants in Morrisons, they are often very good, especially for a supermarket. We do have one near us but I don't go very often as it is the furthest away from me.

Actually Morrison's is the closest to me but it's not my favourite- both cramped and crowded so I rarely go in there, however might make a detour more often!! (and generally Aldi has better prices!)

I'm a Sainsburys man, but I'll admit that sometimes I deviate via Morrisons to see what they have, plant-wise.

Trouble is, the closest I can get the two supermarkets to each other is 10 miles, unless I go to Bude, but that's 37 miles from here! :rotfl:

I go there sometimes, if conditions are favourable, but looking at the weather forecast, I don't think it'll be Budeiful any time soon.

I'm a Morries man, one very close is large one, revamped and pleasant

I find the bedding plants are excellent value, and bet my nearby Lild hands down on choice and quality

I buy my seed trays and pots from Wilkinson's - much cheaper than any garden centre.

So do I, especially when they are reduced to 10p along with the seeds in September.

I'll bear that in mind, thank you!

Another plant day at Morrison's .
I have been lured in to spend... but not a lot!!
1 x Jacob's Ladder (Polemonium) - looks a bit bashed- 7 pence (£1.37)
1 x Alpine Ajuga-- 7 pence (£1.37)
4 pack of Tulip Guiseppi Verdi (actually 7 bulbs)- 10 pence (£2.00)
2 x Primrose Bowl - terracotta bowl with 3 primula- 20 pence each (£4.00 each)
3 x Christmas Cactus (what I know as Zygocactus) 2 x pink, 1 x red - 15 pence each (£3 each)

The Christmas cactus do really well for me- they like easterly light, so I am very happy with them.
Outdoor plants are now outside. 3 primula planted in pot outside front door now together with the tulips

Grand Total spend : £1.09 compared with full cost=£21.74
Saved £20.65

(But I wouldn't actully have bought them at full price- still a nice little batgain)

I find Morrison's great for reduced plants, have had some real bargains from there which all recovered well, apart from a hanging basket which I paid 50p for, the plants were dead, but it was worth that just for the basket.
Homebase can be good too, I managed to get a venus fly trap the other week for 69p and a couple of christmas succulents for 15p each.
