Waiting for Potential Wilko Offers

dogstarheaven

I'm waiting very patiently for offers in the Gardening Section but somehow, they don't seem to be forthcoming at all. Last year, I bought those plastic black troughs and square planters that were between £2.99 - £7.99 for growing veggies in and they were on a 3f2 offer, their Tomorite was a 1/3 off and I think their Vermiculite and Perlite was 25% off too... If I recall correctly, I'm sure they were quite a few offers at the beginning of their gardening stock, but they've been in their stores for a good few weeks now..

Can anyone advise me if these offers are likely to happen at all?
thanks:T:T

i bought them last year on the 3 for 2
i dont know when it started, but i do know when i bought mine and it was nearer the end of may
(we didnt have wilkos here, and hubby works away, he brought them when he came home for his birthday thats how i know)

really.. oh that's such a long, long wait... have you noticed their seed offers are dearer this yr? guess, i will have to decide what to do then...

Best thing to do is keep your eyes and ears open for any possible offers when you are out and about.Also keep checking on here as people will post the offers when they see them.

I doubt any offers until after Easter, as that is the traditional gardening weekend. However given the weather forecast for the weekend I suspect there will be loads of offloading everywhere of excess unsold stock sometime next week by the like of B & Q etc

If you have a poundland near you they have troughs and squares at £1;)
No idea if the quality is the same as wilkinsons, but they looked OK the other day when I was in the.
They also had pop up garden bags, just right for spud/veggie growing and can be packed away for the winter. Mine are about to come out for their 3rd year, and still look good.;)

I have just recieved an e-mail from Wilkinsons titled- Bank Holiday deals to suit all Budgets. You can click in to the gardening section then there is a latest offers area at the top it shows the latest deals it has greenhouses,sheds,spades,tools,seeds.
I didn't see the containers you mentioned but it does have vermiculite so the offers may be on there way.:j

I bought some cloches in poundland last week and have seen similar for around £15 each in garden catalogues.

Got some large troughs from Poundstretcher today for £2.99.

Not a massive variety (only a small branch) but good prices.

went in today and their vermiculite/perlite was on £2 for 2.. couldn't find any vermiculite in either of the two stores, so bought the perlite instead...
there were some other offers, but not what i wanted..
am looking for a posh (as in metal) indoor watering can with a long spout.. can't see any in htere, just the plastic ones for £2.. went to a garden centre, saw on by hawes for £6 in nice colours but not the right shape..
