Not bad if you get free shipping We use safflower seed as cat litter in the Smart Catbox. This was a little less expensive per pound than what we can get from the manufacturer, but much less with free 2-day shipping. You get 2 each 7.5 lb bags.
Cardinal Magnet Cardinals love this seed! I have counted up to 10 cardinals at one time waiting to get their turn at this. While it’s not totally squirrel proof, they don’t seem to like it as much as other seed. It also attracts a variety of other small birds. I do shop around for safflower seed and this brand is usually competitively priced.
