It's far cheaper to go & get some twigs off of a tree, put them in an old smelly sock that you have spread Marmite into & put them in the washing machine.
The result is the same
I think this year i'll have to find more creative ways of hiding them seeing as they are soo expensive.
BTW, the price hike may well be so that later on they can reduce them so it looks like your getting a bargain
