I'm looking to plant a loads of bulbs at the moment, and just wondering, does anyone know of a good place to buy not too expensive bulbs. I'm looking for ones that will produce from spring to autumn (want the easy way to keep colour in the garden, rather then having to plant border plants each year)

Normally i've got from lidl/aldi, but I can't remember when they have them in.

Any guidance much appreciated.

Homebase are doing bulbs like Dahila's and Lupins at the moment, they're 5 for €12, really good value, they have a great selection of flowers that will come up year after year.

Mr Middleton on Mary St, Dublin. Amazing stuff and you wouldn't think it. Or I believe topplants.ie are good but I've never used them. You can also get great value and choice from uk sites but I haven't looked into them yet.

Depends how much bulbs you want. you can buy daffodils in 25kg bags tulips in 10 kg etc if thats the amount you want go to the nearest agriculural store or nursery as garden centres seem to be too dear. Even if your in a town/city there will be one near you!!
