RE: You get what you pay for? STB #79

Ah! Correct ya there. Skin products can be cheap and GOOD if unbranded and/or without the bling. Basic skincare shouldn't cost a lot. Plus, you can use pure oils ..but I know what you mean.

I'm with ya on the coffee. Cheap beans are often old ie not super fresh. It's what small batch coffee is better. Saying that, the only mainstream coffee I would drink is Lavazza. It's a good brew!

Here we are spoilt for choice for small roasters. The one we get is $45 AUD for 1 kg. I'm not sure how that compares - you know me and maths - but it's cheaper than coffee in the UK.

I could've phrased it better. Stuff I use now is mostly basic ingredients and natural products that's inexpensive. Was more thinking of I dunno storebrand skincare that's cheaper, say, than the French stuff but also using lower quality ingredients. In the end, all of it is toxic.

Surprised that it doesn't seem that expensive compared to here. Is Australia not as freakishly expensive as I always imagined it? :O Here, I think a kg of Lavazza would be around $33 - $37 AUD, so not that huge a difference.
