Tesco vouchers for gardening

I've just received my Tesco vouchers and noticed that they have a few gardening offers included mainly from Thompson & Morgan or Dobies gardening Club.

I'm tempted by the top hat blueberry bushes but not much else for me :)

    I've just had a quick look on Thompson & Morgan website and the bushes are £9.49 each. Then googling it I found this...

    http://www.scotplantsdirect.co.uk/fruits/blueberries/new-vaccinium-corymbosum-blueberry-top-hat/prod_489.html?kw=blueberry%20top%20hat&fl=496613&ci=5672245025&network=s&gclid=CJHe7eCyiaICFQ-Y2AodqUs3WQ


    Also the Lavender Munstead (pack of 5) for £4 clubcard vouchers can be found on the T&M website (36 plug plants + 6 free) for £9.99!

    So I would say the voucher deals don't give 'good value' and would be better used on another offer or instore.

    We never find deals that we're interested in so we change ours for Airmiles. We had enough for 1 ticket to America last year and we are now 3000 miles into our 10000 miles target for Australia.

    Good luck with whatever you choose.

    Well I did go with the two blueberry plants in the end although I could have sworn on my first reading it said pack of 2, not pack of 1. Like you we don't find many deals we're interested in so we tend to spend them as money off shopping, not very effective I know but anything else we spend them on tends to cost us more in the long run (hotels, cottages etc).

    So £8 worth of vouchers seemed reasonable although not a brilliant bargain.

    I'm going to look into the airmiles things now though as we do go abroad at least once a year.

    If you log onto Tesco clubcard site and go to your deal then it should have a link to more about it - when I was looking at the blueberries, it linked to an order form and that may have an address on it.
