Back from the States

Finally found something more expensive in America than Britain. Baby formula, it's twice as expensive (at least).

The force of the breastfeeding maffia is strong over there...So I'm curious, how much did you pay for a box? Here it's about 15€ per box.

We pay about £7 for 900g of Cow and Gate here in the UK. In America, the equivalent was around $20.

So it's not that it's expensive in the US, it's just really cheap in the UK.

That's it exactly. Baby formula is heavily monitored and regulated in the UK. And price locked. I paid the same price for premade at Heathrow as I do at my Boots at City Centre Belfast.
