in Shop but don't drop
'ello all

Just bought a wild bird feeder and was wondering where the best value place is to get seed - supermarkets? Robert Dyas? Pet shops? Or some other type of place?

Cheers

Wings

    QD was cheapest for me when I was buying seed. Next cheapest was Poundland or 99p shop.

    Sorry I must apologise for this post :o

    QD wasn't cheapest for me at all for seed, Wilkinsons was. QD is cheapest for me to buy fatballs from.

    The birdies I feed also love the square fat blocks and the cheapest place I have found for them is Home Bargains - 3 for £1.69 or thereabouts. As a starter pack B & M do the "cage" for it, including one fat block, for about £1.50. For fatballs I always go to Poundland. Everyone seems to have their own favourite place for seed, but I always go to Jollye's pet supermarket.
