One of my best bargains was a group of fruit plants. They were crammed five to a pot and two were dead but three good ones survived. The pot had a full-price sticker on it and was not reduced. I asked the assistant for their best price and got myself a bargain 20% off! Back home, I repotted them, grew them on and a year on they are thriving in my soft fruit collection and I have three strong gooseberry, raspberry and blackcurrant bushes.
If you don't ask, you don't get! that's my policy, so it is worth asking. This time it worked, but I am not always so lucky. If you don't ask you will never know, will you?
Look at these herbs I bought for 89p each in a supermarket. They often sell them in the food isles. I use them for cooking and freeze some for later (in ice-trays with a bit of water). The plants have regrown and are waiting to be planted out in the herb garden.
I keep bags of these herb ice-cubes in the freezer to add to sauces and casseroles. The frozen basil will make great pesto for our DIY pizza's... That's not bad for a couple of cheap pots of herbs.
