    Good points raised by everyone. I should also point out that those of us who sell these items still have to save up for our own purchases as well. You would be surprised at how little mark-up there is on some accessories!

    Like many things, wearing a kilt and it's related accessories is as expensive or inexpensive as you want it to be. It depends on your individual tastes, how and where you intend to wear it, and also your means. Though any desired purchase becomes affordable if you save long enough for it. I think in this age of instant gratification, it's sometimes nice to save for something as you will cherish it more in the long run.

    I buy my own hot sauces from myself. I even make myself pay retail, I don't give myself a discount. I have about 8 bottles in the fridge for me to use, some I got before I went into the biz, some I bought after. If I gave up on the biz and absorbed my stock, I'd have around 200 bottles or so, which would be dang impressive as a collection, but to go through all that.....

    in irony though, my mom like mild sauce from Taco bell. She chewed me out the other day because I didn't remember she needed it when I got tacos, though she had a few spare packets in her fridge. So I went to Walmart and got a bottle of it for her yesterday, though I still need to take it over to her. I can't order that one wholesale, but it's only $1.07 from Walmart for a 5 ounce bottle. (And if you know anything about HS, that tells you alot about the quality of Taco Bell's hot sauce.
