We have been buying extra strong PG Tips British tea from Amazon because we think American tea is way too weak. 3 boxes of 80 were about $40 last time I bought them a few months ago. They’re now $80. Thankfully we discovered we can get an order of 6 for $60, but we have to wait until mid-February for the to arrive. Meanwhile, a single box of the same tea, which we’ll have to get in the mean time, is $20. Yes, a single box is less per box than a 3-count box order, but you still save if you buy 6 boxes. How does any of that make sense?

    this thread makes me think we need a ‘help me find this’ kinda of community…

    i remember a reddit sub helped me find a sweater i really wanted and had spent weeks searching for.

      There actually is a HelpMeFind community (https://lemmy.ml/c/helpmefind), although it’s dead at the moment. I agree it’s be good to have it up and running.

      I used to have a multi Reddit set up which grouped various subs all about helping people either identify things (songs/movies/books/random objects they’d found/etc), find them online to buy, or discover new related stuff (If I Like This), it was quite fun and obviously it helped people. Also meant I discovered a LOT of music that I really liked, but would probably never have heard of.

      Oh man, speaking of sweaters, it’s hard as hell to find decent used men’s cashmere sweaters and even the cheaper new ones are $80-100. And that’s if you want one that’s a pattern-free one color boring sweater. I have like four nice looking cashmere sweaters with a sensible pattern on them that I’ve had since probably the early 2000s that I barely even wear anymore because I love them so much and I can’t find a decent replacement for them even the last time I looked on eBay (this may have changed, but I don’t have the money to spend right now). I guess I just have to wait for them to come back in style.

        Do you have Nordstrom Rack near you? They often have new cashmere marked down to 20 or 30 bucks.
