Jeesh, currently pricing substrate and lighting and I kind of forgot how expensive it was without having a big box store discount and waiting until the "friends and family" day so that everything is 30% off. . . ugh.
The pet shop near me closes at 5 and even when I remember to go by in the morning, its not clearly marked (no sign just an old scratched out sign for the corner shop it used to be) so I walk right by it (its on my way to work) and get so lost in my own thoughts that by that time I realise I should have been looking for it, I am at the intersection for my work building. Holy run on sentence. . . anyway, I'm having to look online now and pricing out to try to compare to the shop on Monday (its also not open on Sundays). . . But right now I'm lookin at:
Black sand (20 lb bag): £18
Prime (100 ml): £7
API test kit: £23
LED lighting: £29
This feels ridiculous, so I'm hoping the shop will be cheaper, but after my 2 weeks of price comparing to make this list, I am not feeling very confident. . .
