Not promoting any companies but we got 5 bags of seed at TSC in the fall.
It was 15.99 for 50 pd bag and called Royal Wing Classic. It is a house brand that has White Millet, Milo, Wheat, cracked corn, and black oil sunflower seeds.

What I bought was the orange bag of Royal Wing Black Oil Sunflower Seeds. If the price is the same the next time I buy, I may just have to go to the mix.
Bird: I just noticed that my bag was 40 lb instead of 50 lb, so that makes my deal not quite so good compared to Walmart's smaller bags.
Jim,
Have you ever tried raising sunflowers for the birds?
They grow well up here but after letting them dry on the stalks till they began to fall off and the birds were eating them, we about wore our thumbs out getting the seeds off to store in the garage. After all that work they molded anyway, so we have purchased them by the bag ever since.

Ron, I have not tried to grow sunflowers because I think the critters would just get them. I had one plant come up volunteer and had a huge bloom. I was getting really anxious to see how it would turn out when the bloom and plant was suddenly ripped down and shredded. I had both deer and 'coon tracks around the plant, so I don't know which was first. After my entire corn crop was wiped out in one night, I decided I would not grow anymore crops to just feed 'coons. Actually, as much as I complain, I don't mind buying a bag of sunflower seeds every couple of months. My biggest feeder will last 5 days or more without refilling. We always have beautiful birds at our feeders and our grandson is thrilled to see them. He's never lived anywhere with so many critters.
Get the breast of 20+ and you can throw together a great meal. Best way I have had them is , piece of cheese with Jalapeño then wrapped with bacon and thrown on the grill.
I buy these at Brooshires Grocery store all the time from the Meat department. There is about a dozen variations of them and when they are on sale, you can get them for $2 each!!!!!
