When do GCs Reduced Their Seeds?

Pre-pandemic, Dobies used to sell their seeds for £1 each, but I haven't visited one since. Does anyone know when they have their sale on? I think it would be sometime in August so then they clear their stock for Christmas stuff. B&Q and Homebase have rubbish sales. Wilko's have theirs atm for 50% off, but their range is quite small. I'm mainly after flower seeds. 

TIA.

My local Wilmslow GC had their seed at half price when I dropped in last week. I’d keep an eye on your local Wilko as they seem about to go bankrupt so will likely be selling off their stock.

I just bought a load of flower seeds the other day from Wilcos in Beverley. 70% off marked price, the prices were £1/£1.50/£2. They had their own brand and Johnson’s.

Independent ones don't in my experience.
Chain ones do but it's short and sharp and all gone.

I did see a basket of reduced seeds somewhere today but still £1 a packet.

Saving my own this year from whats growing.

My Wilkos seeds last year were much cheaper later in the year, but with a much smaller choice of course. I wonder, though, whether this is linked to them going into administration. Perhaps not a good idea to leave it too long.

I'm not interested in Wilko's range as it's limited to the most popular varieties. I'm after flowers that aren't so common. I remember Dobbies had a good range of Sarah Raven ones.
