OK, so growing your own salad is not going to pay for your next holiday.... but it is a fairly big chunk of change if you like eating salad regularly.

This bag of salad is £1.25 a pack (£1.39 per 100g) - It doesn't seem like loads of money when you're shopping and you just want some lovely fresh salad for your tea / lunch. I've seen packs for up to £3 before now and they're all growable in the UK!
