    I've access to three smaller Wilkos in the city; none now offer much by way of seeds or bulbs in the autumn when they gear to student needs followed by festive items. The range was very limited.

    The two larger stores I can get to when I visit other towns both had bulbs half price. One had very good offers on seeds just before lockdown but this week were selling a small range full price. Didn't check for seeds at the other as it was a flying visit before a meeting.

    My sense is that although they have a range, what goes to different stores, even of the same size, can vary as this week's had varieties I hadn't seen at the others.

    I was in Wilko the other day and picked up a few more packets of seeds from their "bargain" section. Unfortunately the till has been reprogrammed and it didn't recognise some, and wanted full price for the rest. A supervisor confirmed that they're back up to full price, even though they were in the bargain section and there were some bulbs with discounts nearby. Granted there was no label to suggest they were marked down, but it's a strange place to put them if they're not. Maybe it's just my local branch.

    Haven't looked in there recently- last time I looked all Christmas! & a few odd packs of tulips quite cheap- I didn't buy as I don't do well with them (suspect the gastropods munch them!)
