So in my head I have the Bee Gees Staying Alive playing but I have replaced "Staying Alive" with "Shopping Around". Now that your actually listening to that in your own head and singing along with it, I will continue.....
A google search gives you some idea of cost and postage, what it doesn't give you without going into each one is the amount of seeds that are in the pack.
Back in 2024 when I was last looking for Gladiator F1 Parsnip Seeds and I did a cost comparison these were my findings:-
Yorkshire seeds appeared the cheapest for the quantity of seeds I was after, however what I found was their packs only contained around 100 seeds, not 400 as stated. I contacted them and they did in fairness send me 3 additional packs of seeds, however this has put me off from using them again, as I operate on a "Catch me once shame on you, catch me twice shame on me) basis.
Not everyone counts seeds in a pack, it's only I was starting them off in modules that I counted them.
It takes time and effort to shop around but I like to pick one variety vegetable and undertake a survey on seed prices against quantity like this usually when I update the before you buy seeds article. it's a good indicator of which companies provide the best value for money.
My table did not include P&P as that really depends what else you are buying at the same time, and in fact some companies include the P&P in their price of seeds like Seeds To Suit and Seed Megastore, knowing which ones include P&P can be taken into account when finally selecting where you are going to buy from.
