I need to get another sack of sunflower seeds (15-20 Kg sack) but checking Amazon and Google and prices seem much higher than I've paid in the past. I appreciate delivery must add to the cost.
Does anybody know of any low cost vendors (online)? or have I just got out of date on prices?

I'm not sure how they compare price-wise, but I can recommend Brinvale... I've been buying from them for years, and when I find someone reliable I tend to stick with them. They do black, striped, shelled, and kibbled sunflower seeds chips, and I usually buy the chips... the birds seem to find them easier and waste less of them. www.brinvale.com/straight-bird-food/sunflower-seeds/ |

Thanks.
I relented and phoned local garden centre and they had a few bags left 20Kg at £29-99. They said that when they are gone prices will increase as sunflower hearts are getting a lot more expensive - which is presumably why everywhere else is around the £40 mark for 20 Kg.

I've never bought them in that sort of quantity before... that is pricey!

I've never bought them in that sort of quantity before... that is pricey! Some years ago when I'd completely distorted any balance in local bird populations (through feeding) I was getting through a 20Kg sack every month. Over time I believe my feeding had allowed a massive population of goldfinches to survive totally dependent on my feeding. So I got in the habit of buying large sacks and they are cheaper per Kg than buying smaller quantities. I don't have the ludicrous populations I previously had (local cat population increases probably now a limiting factor) but the big sacks do last (as long as you keep the mice away over winter) and cheaper in long term.
