We went out to Sandy, RSPB the Lodge this afternoon, and spent a 'fortune' on birdfood. :eek!:
We have an old wheelie bin that we plan to store it in.
We bought 1 12.75kg bag of each below:
Premium Peanuts
Black Sunflower Seeds
Table Seed Mix
Sunflower Hearts
Note: The Peanuts and the Sunflower hearts cost twice the amount of the Black sunflower Seed and the Table Seed Mix. :eek!:
We also purchased:
Box of 50 Fat Balls
High Energy sprinkles x 3
Dried Mealworms 2.5 litres of them
Final cost was a lot but we are trying an experiment to see if this a cost effective way of paying for birdfood and it is going to a good cause.
We got a £10.00 voucher back for all our spending we did. This is a new point system that the RSPB are running. You spend so much and you are given a stamp for money back.
Anyone else tried this method of buying bird food in bulk, and was it a good way of saving in the long run?
Not everyone is able to do this but if you can I would be interested to know what you think?
