Will you also be purchasing mylar bags etc too?
I have a lot of mylar bags but I do need some oxy absorbers. I used to to a bulk buy from the US for members, but last time I approached the guy who sells them, he told me the postage from the US had gone up to crazy prices. However - I am going over to the States later this month so I may pick some up and bring them back, so if anyone's interested...
Any idea if the ones from the states are 5 or 7mil? I used to get the 7mil from LDS but they stopped selling. Now buy 5mil from fresherpack. Which reminds me. Lidl will be selling vacuum sealing rolls on 16 december
The ones I used to get were 7mm. Let me see what's what with the supplier and we can go from there. They don't weigh much so am sure I can fit some in the suitcase

No addblue is a pollution reducing additive effectively refined pig piss! It's a available all over at the minute poundscratcher have some square containers off it in locally Morrisons have smaller boot packs..... I'm guessing a decent hgv motorfactors will have it in larger containers = better value

Diamond brite / lifecshine / super shiney magic potion is a cracking upsell I had a bit of a debate with a salesman who wouldn't take no for an answer till I dragged him outside to show him my 6 year old car which looked as good as the day I got it......

Looks like the Government are about to tell us to prepare for between 6 weeks and 6 months disruption.

What do you guys reckon, is this project fear or the start of a genuine public awareness campaign at last?
