I don't know currency conversion, but they were around $7 per pack when I bought them.

As for the Rockfields, I had a couple of Amazon gift codes that covered the cost + shipping.

Woooh! Even if I were a millionaire, I'd never spend that much!!!
I guess they were cheaper here because they have a distributor in the U.S.

yes you may be right..however the tax on cigarettes generally in the UK is HUGE.. I just quickly looked up to see how much normal cigarettes are per single pack here.. and they're around £12... ..which is approx $16 US..per single pack

Well, the name brands around here are around $7 per pack, but when I smoked regular cigarettes I bought generics, never over $5 per pack.
After it became harder and harder to get vape products, I started smoking Phillies, ranging from $1.30 to $2 per pack depending on the store.

I wish I could vape regularly, though. Now, though, it's more expensive to vape than to smoke.

I had to look that one up:
"Groundnut or peanut oil is an extremely healthy oil extracted from the seeds of peanut plants.. You may get it in many varieties such as cold-pressed, refined, gourmet and blended peanut oil. Every variant is different in terms of benefits but most people prefer using cold-pressed or refined."

LOL, who knew?

I had to look it up too. It’s time for me to buy a new bottle of oil for baking. Maybe I should consider peanut oil. Last time was Mazola corn oil.

Another pair of cheap reading glasses so I can have them in even more corners of the house.

LOL - I purchase them by the five pack from Amazon and scatter them in just about every room. Also keep a pair in my purse, each car and a couple in our RV. The rest stay in home base (my office). I probably have 25 pairs, all told. Periodically I hunt them all down, dump them in a big Tupperware bowl of warm sudsy water, give them a bath and good polishing, then return them to their regular haunts.

This brand has some snazzy options:

I bought some hard wall picture hooks.. and some Buzz fly catchers for the garden ready for Spring.. they're not cheap but these fly catchers hanging out on the fence or tree, are amazing things at preventing flies from coming near the house when the windows are all open in spring and summer , and each one lasts about 3 weeks..

I'm pretty sure it was Avon's "Skin So Soft" that I used to repel the mozzies while in Australia. It worked!

People used to say that about Avon so soft to deter the mozzies in Spain..and many said it worked for them, but it never worked for me ... that was the one drawback of Spain for me, was being bitten by mozzies and the misery of the itching for days...

@hollydolly .. The mozzies in Oz are much smaller than ours. I could hear them, but couldn't see them. I didn't like the oiliness of the Skin So Soft, but it was better than being eaten alive!

Sorry it doesn't work for you, Hols.

I initially had an allergic reaction to the mozzies .. huge welts, and needed antihistamines.

some of the mozzies in Spain are so tiny too... but others like the Tiger Mosquito.. are so desctructive.. one of my neighbours had to have her foot amputated after a tiger mozzie bit her and it ultimately ended up rotting all of her heel

This reminds me - I need SOMETHING to deal with dreaded "ankle biter" aedes mostquitos that invaded So Cal a few years back. They're teeny tiny things about the size of a gnat - you don't even know you've been bitten until you start scratching.

Yes!!
I keep looking to see what's biting my legs, but I can never catch them. :(

I counted up to 5 bites on one leg. They get me while I'm out watering.
 
I bought 3 pairs of OTC reading glasses.. Pink, Gold, and blue frames that come as a set .. to match outfits I wear when my own expenisve prescription specs just won't do.. . They cost under £15 for the 3 pairs.. .. and come in cute little individual tapestry cases.. how cute..

These look amazing. Are you also planning to attend some of the other upcoming events? Maybe the London Comic Con or the Fertility Show? :cool:
