I already bought all my seeds, then I went into walmart today. All their seed packets were only $1, but everyone else was around $2. I'm frustrated.

Walmart is the store for modest income folks. They try to keep prices down and still be profitable. They receive a lot of bad press, but I shop there. I'm poor.

Won't get on my soap box about Walmart.
I do know that you have to double check no matter where you buy things that when you compare prices that the items are the same. Make sure it is the same # of seeds, or oz. Retailers have the opportunity to request things from suppliers, and they can request lower grade or items with less in the same or similar packaging, so people think they are getting a good deal.
No matter if you paid $2 or $1 you are still going to make out great when you harvest your first fruit/veggie, and that really is why we all plant gardens, right?
