Hey ya'll,
I buy some from Walgreens and Big Lots every year. They are a great bargin. Some of the zinnia I planted last year where five feet tall. Good luck with your gardens. Brenda

| The 10 for a $1 are good if you want to try something that you have never grown vegetable or flower. The packs have a small amount of seeds, just the right amount to try. I hate paying $3+ for a package then find out I hate the plant and are stuck with bunches of seedlings/seeds that no one wants. This way a new gardener can try the basics and then expand next year. |

| DH and I went to Big Lots the other day for the first time, to see if they had batteries for my cordless mouse. They did. But what I was thrilled with was the huge seed display. Some of the seeds were 10 cents a pkt, others were more. I bought Grandpa Otts, and Heavenly Blue morning glory, cosmos, and dill. I plan to go back this morning for more. Thank you guys for having mentioned this before. I was thrilled to see the display just as we went in the door. I want to get some zinnias, cleome, yellow 4 oclocks, and herbs and whatever else looks like it will do well here in tropical zone 10 se FL. 10 cents a packet is GREAT!!! FlowerLady |

| The Dollar General store here locally just got their 10/$1 seed pkts out this week also. Flowers and veggies. |

| I wish there was a Big Lots near me! Best deal I've seen is Ace Hardware (MA, RI, NH), 5/$1 veggies and flower seeds. |

Leftycatcher--
I just went shopping at Walmart in southern MA and they had tons of 10/$1 seed packets out, I was able to get just about everything I needed (veggies, flowers and herbs alike). The only thing I wanted that wasn't available was borage :( Anyway, you should go look! |

| This week Long's has 10 for $1. Haven't been there yet, and I don't need more seeds... |

I've had really good luck with inexpensive seeds. Several years ago I bought some .10 seed packets of alyssum, bachelor buttons, zinnias, marigolds, nigella, sweet williams and others and the germination rate was quite high.
In fact, I am still getting flowers from seeds from the originals.

| Ooh, Big Lots, eh? My mother LOVES this store but she's never mentioned seed packets. I'll have to check out my local store. |

| Went to the local Rite-Aid (old Eckerd's) and got my 10 cent packets. A small selection, but basic. Sometimes all you need are the basics. Nice thing is, that is everyday price! |
RE: 10 seeds pks.for a $1
| | |
| Hooray--Walgreen's finally has not only seed packets, but a coupon for 10/$1! My local Odd Lots still has no seeds at all. |
And 5/$1
| | |
| Ooh, and Ace Hardware has an ad (no coupon needed) for 5 seed packets for $1. |
