Yes I got shocked at how much plants were last spring ($4 for a tomato plant at Lowes!) and decided to move my process upstream.
Walmart has them for $3.88 ehehehehe. Scrooge that I hear ya--from now on its mostly seeds for me too plus you get so many more in number from seedlings--just the little extra work is involved.
About the same for Walmart. Definitely too much cost for me. I’ll just plant my own for far less cost.
I just paid about $4 for 10 strawberry cuttings at Lowe’s and got them into some soil the other day. Hoping for some good results in a couple of months.
