    Running low on beard oil so thought I would look on Amazon
    4 times the price that I usually pay for the same brand !
    Hair clippers have also become a very expensive item assuming the suppliers have them in stock glad I bought my Wahl some months ago.

    It's By My beard oil
    It's 99p! (30ml) in Savers but did come out number one in a GQ magazine survey.
    You can call me cheap if you like but hate being ripped off.

    I have no idea what make mine was . Only just started using it and I've had a beard of some shape all my adult life. Mrs graveltrap buys it . I'm going to find out now if my bike budget is getting wasted on this oil

    Rip off Britain
    All the shops are doing it
    One farm shop charged £12:50 for a sack of spuds that where £6 three weeks before and £3 for celery when it’s normally a quid.
    I will never ever use them again:mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Try Olive oil Bradt, does exactly the same thing. Jojoba and Argan oil is a popular replacement for branded beard oils but you don't keep them in your kitchen cupboard do you!! Just put some in your empty beard oil bottle and fool yourself that you're using beard oil! :)
