Aldi seed potatoes

I notice Aldi are doing seed potatoes from Thursday at £1.79.

Does anyone know which varieties they include and what weights the bags usually are? The website is very vague.

Thanks

    Not sure but have a look in the poundshop if you want smallish quantities - 8 potatoes for £1 mainly and in Wilkos as well.

    My hubby picked up a bag today when we were doing our weekly shop. They are Pentland Javelin, can't see a weight on the bag, but would say there are approx 30 - 40 seed potatoes.
    We also got a packet of 6 different veg seeds in one packet for 79p, purple sprouting broccoli, cabbage, beetroot,courgette, nantes carrot, onion
