If you keep brassica seeds reasonably carefully and DRY one packet
should last at least 3 years from when you open it assuming foil packet,
so it really isn't that expensive. Spare a thought for me having to buy
200 tomato seeds (F1's) in one packet for around 12 dollars (UKP17) but
it will last me 2 years and give I estimate at least 800 lbs of the very
best cherry tomatoes.
