I recently bought a one-ounce tin (which is a couple of years' worth  
for me, normally) in a busy Indian supermarket in the area, and the  
price was about four times what I expected to pay. Which, considering  
what it costs elsewhere, was less of a bargain than it might otherwise  
have been, but still the best deal around.
