M&S grow-your-own herb pots better than half price

nervousftb_3 Posts: 395 Forumite

27 May 2010 at 7:58PM in It's gone, but was it any good?

Went to M&S to pick up the meal deal and got some of their grow-your-own herb pots while I was there.

Marked on the lid as £1.49, but all went through the checkout at 70p so better than half price :j(I had a few of different varieties).

They had basil, coriander, thyme, chives, parsley and rocket from what I can remember, all on a rack by the door (M&S Simply Food in Crewe). They are propagator pots with the compost and seeds supplied - they are about the size of a large plastic cup. Perfect for growing herbs on a window ledge.

Also had packets of sunflower seeds (for planting, not eating!!) marked as 99p but went through at 50p.

There wasn't any signs to say they were on offer so don't know whether it is a one-off or in every store. They need to be planted by June so this could be why they are getting rid of them.

2011 wins: £481

Eleventh Heaven: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
