if its truly budget then it will be the shops own stuff.

otherwise look for whats on sale and use economics, huge pots of t-cut will cost but its still cheaper than buying 2 pots of normal size.

what shop u goin to mate?

Thats because Rob, people like yourself dont answer the question im asking. Ive asked for basically opinions from people on the cheaper products.

Where as you will probably asnwer, spend some extra money an get this stuff instead.

i only really want peoples opinons on the cheaper products they have actually used, not what is available
