Amazon has 16-lbs Scotts Turf Builder Rapid Grass Sun & Shade Mix for $35.13. Shipping is free.

Thanks to Deal Hunter Rokket for finding this deal.

Features:
  • Proprietary combination of sun and shade mix of seed and fertilizer results in full green grass that grows in just weeks; expect to see grass growing at a minimum of 12 days and maximum of 21 days
  • This sun and shade grass seed and fertilizer combination will change the way you grow grass; it's the most complete solution for large problem areas in your lawn and for establishing new grass
  • Fall and Spring are the best times to plant grass seed; seed germinates best when temperatures are between 60°F and 80°F and the chance of frost has passed
  • For best results, rake soil lightly to remove debris; apply grass seed with a Scotts spreader, then water daily or as needed to keep soil surface moist until the seedlings reach 2 to 3 inches tall; one 16-lb. bag seeds up to 8,000 sq. ft.

I couldn't find it on the Scotts website, but in response to a complaint about the lack of transparency on the sun & shade mix seed (perhaps similar), they said this:

Quote :
The seed blend in our Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix is as follows: 8% Wendy Jean Fine Fescue, 8% Fenway Fine fescue, 4% Treazure II Creeping Red Fescue, 9% Vision Perennial Ryegrass, 10% Silver Dollar Ryegrass, 3% Jumpstart Kentucky Bluegrass, 5% Gaelic Kentucky Bluegrass, 3% Abbet Kentuckty Bluegrass and 50% WaterSmart Plus Coating (water absorbent coating with fertilizer and fungicide). While these are the seed varieties and percentages we plan on using, actual percentages and varieties can vary based on seed availablility. All seed bags have a label which is printed at time of bagging with the exact seed ingredients for that bag, bucket, or jug.

Well, Amazon just raised its price, but Walmart's price is currently ~$35 for 16 lbs. Also ships for free. That beats ~$45 for 3 of the 5 lb bags.

Manicured lawns are a huge waste of resources and your time, save your money by not buying any fertilizer.

Instead, focus on bringing indigenous plans to your yards that can thrive in your local climate as-is.

A short video on this from a climate perspective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzXF9usswYo

A longer, more in-depth, more hard core leftie environmentalist video on this: https://youtu.be/megIy0mO5-4

I could be mistaken but I've heard that Scott's is the worst brand for seed mix as it also has weeds in it. If you look at the label, it'll say the % of weeds in it, that being said, I haven't seen this particular product or the label.

Grabbed a bag from Walmart, won't use it until our very odd Texas weather stabilizes, Ive used a few products in my new construction lawn, the max green stuff definitely works, but now we're in winter, I've got some really bad yellow patches.
