I usually get bird food in Wilkinson's but I've found it is much cheaper online. I have found the prices below on Ebay, but can anyone recommend anywhere even cheaper? (including P&P)

Mixed Bird food
£30 for two 25KG bags (60p a kilo).

Black sunflower seeds
£25 for 20KG (£1.25 a kilo).

Fat balls
£12 for 100 (12p each).

    remember to go thru quidco for cashback too with ebay.

    obv, look at the prices incl delivery - depends on what kind of seed you want.

    we buy the no mess stuff locally (they grow their own) where it works out at £1 kilo.

    i was buying mealworms from ebay, but home bargains is cheap/easy now at £12.90 per kilo.

    small fat balls in home bargs are 49p for 6, so 8p each.

    fat trays (that the birds like) are 97p in wilkos and then get lots when on 2 for £1.50 (if i was organised could get cashback via quidco too for collect in store)

    Thanks for the responses. I've never put out mealworms, but maybe worth a try to add to the selection for our feathered friends. :-)
