Holy Smokes! WOOL !?
#12
That's right about the petrol it can go up 20 cents in a day put lately it has been hanging around the $1.20 mark. How much do you pay. I have never seen wool in my LQS. I will have to look for it in the speciality shops to compare prices, now we are at equal $ value it will be easy to compare. I will wonder down the high street tomorrow, to hot to go shopping today it is over 30c I think that is 100F for you.
