Cheap Berry Plants?
Hoping someone may be able to advise 
I'd love to plant some blueberries, raspberries and strawberries, specifically container varieties, but these all seem pretty expensive in the search I have done so far!
Does anyone have any recommendations of places to look online for reasonably priced plants please?

I had a seasonal sale email from Ashridge nurseries this morning - they may not seem that cheat but their plants are worth a bit extra for the confidence that I've not had with pound shop plants!

Supermarkets sell plants cheap. My blueberry plants came from Tesco.
Just make sure they are fresh looking and not dried out when you buy them.0 -
A few years ago I got a five-variety pack of blueberries from Parkers, although they only seemed to do a three pack now. They were small to start with, but with blueberries you know they are long-lasting so that's not a problem if you're patient. Also, multiple varieties are probably better for pollination, etc, although I've no proof of that. At first I was just happy for them to grow bigger, but they've done that now, so I'm focusing on proper pruning to maximise crops.0
