If you have a Dollar General store near where you live, you may want to check out the vegetable and flower seed. I stopped at the one closest to my house today to buy fig bars and they had all of their seeds on sale for 95% off. Most seeds rang up at two cents a package and a few of them rang up at four cents a package. I bought lots and lots of packages and my total use less than $ 3.00.

Thank you! Our Wal-Mart carries that brand and Walgreens too, at 20 cents each packet. There is often great variability in the quantity of seeds from packet to packet (ex. I had three packets of zinna seeds of the same kind and one had 30 seeds, one had 15 and one had 5). But I have not had any problem with germination and for 20 cents a packet or less, that's not a bad bargain. And for two to four cents a package...WOW!

Ah! I ran up to my $General and they had their seeds 50% off. And that was still a good price, 12 cents a package. Small quantities but a nice variety to add to my little garden stash.
