I was at WalMart yesterday and they had some packets of seed for 20 cents. I haven’t seen that in a long time. <<<

Those will be the old varieties of seeds and they are what grow here.

I have good luck growing those seeds, here the dollar store and Thrifty drug also has them.

The small packets are also useful for the planting of pots, as you can now afford to have a pot or two of ‘every thing’ out there.

We do have a Dollar Store here I will have to check there next week when I’m off again.

I guess we could horde seeds which may become more valuable than gold when times get really tough.

How long do seeds last in the package?

I am so glad to know this!!! I would have bought more of them if I had known that and will have to look again next time I get to WalMart. That may not be for a month but I will look.

I also bought seeds on clearance last year from the dollar store. I didn't know about those either, of course they are last year's seeds but they were marked 90% off and I couldn't resist. They are normally 4/$1. I bought a dollar's worth of seeds at 90% off so I got 40 packets. They are in a large old coffee can now. LOL

I am REALLY glad to hear you say they are old seeds now. I feel like I got an extremely good value!
