Generally I don't use the number of seeds that many of you do. However sometimes I've had to order seeds for the MGs. For the most part, it comes down to the fact that particular cultivars I want are available from only one source. If this cultivar is a critical choice, then I would probably buy everything from that source. Maybe their tomato price is higher than someone else, but they have that specific hollyhock I want to try. Where you can lose money is by buying from 3 different places at the lowest prices and then get eaten up by shipping.
T&M has high shipping, but they have what I want, so I ordered 2 kinds of tomatoes, a hollyhock, and a nifty cosmos this year.

Never thought about it, but it's a good idea. I find Pinetree Garden Seeds 
to be the most reasonable on their shipping charges.

I used to do a spreadsheet for things I was going to order, but decided
it was too much work for the couple dollars I would save (although the
"happy index" wasn't bad, since I used to write it all out while sitting
in the greenhouse perusing catalogs, and it was a pleasant way to pass
the time). Haven't run across anything like it yet either, but if you
do, I'd be interested to know.

Has anyone kept a database of seed and plant shipping costs by company?
I've
got a lot of ordering to do.
