Very cheap prices on gardening chemicals and similar stuff.

Ignore they yellow 'Special Offer' SELS and go for the stuff with ordinary white SELs.

for example:

£0.40 Vitax Gromore 1kg
£3.20 Miracle Gro Patch Magic 1.5kg
£2.00 Miracle Gro Patch Magic 0.75kg
£1.20 Evergreen Cut & Feed 3kg/100m2
£0.60 8 Rubble sacks
£0.90 Pathclear Gun 1 litre
£0.95 Ant Stop! Gun 1 litre
£2.10 Resolva Concentrate Lawn Weedkiller 250ml
£2.00 Hero Patio Cleaner 1 litre bottle
£1.00 Miracle Gro Lawn Food 1kg
£0.70 Miracle Gro Controlled Release Tablets
£1.05 Miracel Gro Slow Release Granules 1kg (General Purpose)
£1.05 Miracel Gro Slow Release Granules 1kg (Shrub & Rose)
£0.90 RoundUp Trigger Spray 1 litre
£0.60 Tesco Rat & Mouse Poison 500g

There was another concentrated weedkiller for £2.20 that the bloke next to me said he paid £11 for last week. He was not happy! lol

Plus lots of other stuff!

As a guide, most of the above prices are 70-80% off!

Nationwide offer!

  • Just been to both bog Tescos in Swansea. I had the following;

    Garden Hose (tesco make) £3.60
    Lawn Sprinkler (tesco make) £1.20
    Chimenea £6.00
    Fire Basket (tesco make) £6.00
    Patio cleaner (Hero power cleaner) £2.00
    Pathclear Weed Killer 90p
    Evergreen Complete Grass Seed 2.8kg £1.60
    Miracle Gro Plant food 70p

    Most stuff is going through.... look for yellow tickets with a save price
    Most of the Barbeque equipment was glitched..
    Did see a £50 two burner gas BBQ with £7.00 but was too timid to try that one out!!

    Hope this helps

    These make very good flower pouches, just cut them into long thin lengths, roll over the joins and staple them with a tough stapler or staple gun and staple a strip of nylon packing tape to make a handle, pierce holes in them down the length

    they've got loads at shoreham holmbush tesco extra, looks like the store seem to be on to the silly pricing though, as for some of the mega bargains such as the chimnea, they'd turned the labels around so you couldn't see the price...
    lots of other great things to snap up, including decent hozelock sprinklers for a couple of quid, hedge shears for £1.20, secateurs for 70p, various similar cutting & trimming garden tools all around the 60p to £2 mark, kneeling pads for 40p to 60p, hand forks & trowels for 60p each, kids gardening gifts sets for £1.... sooooo many amazing prices i could have happily filled my trolley several times over... oh, also kids fun to grow pots for 20p, kids watering cans for 60p (these 2 would make a great party bag gift for kids this time of year), fire baskets & fire pits for £6 each, barbecues for £2, £4, £6, £13 for charcoal and £7 for a 2 burner gas one as well as several cages full of the £6 small chimneas going out overnight in that store...
    better be quick, can't imagine it will last for long

    and of course, big thanks op! :j

    I'm so jealous of the people getting chimineas - they had some in my store along side fire baskets and fire pits but they were all £6 off making them £24 still. As this was the price on the SEL and it said beneath it valid until 31/05 I took 1 of each to the instore scanner but they were still pricey:(

    Got some other good bits and pieces though so thanks OP:j
