Weedkillers and salt from yesterday
Rock salt is pretty cheap
http://www.rocksalt.co.uk/other-rock-salt-uses.php
Rock salt is also good for use as an intensive weed killer. The sodium chloride when used in small quantities is probably the most environmentally friendly chemical weedkiller of all. The salt makes an excellent weed killer when it is diluted in water. Rock salt works the best although you can use table salt if you cannot find any rock salt. The salt spreads through the soil and gets absorbed into the roots and dries out the plant.
A word of WARNING. Salt will kill plants too and will make the ground unsuitable for future plant growth if used in large quantities. On a small scale, you can drop a small pinch of rock salt at the base of the undesirable plants and weeds. It will kill the plant but will dilute down to a harmless level in the next few rainfalls. On a larger scale, you can cover your gravel driveway with a good amount of weed killing salt and nothing will grow there for months.When The Fun Stops Stop0 -

I would also think as they wont compare to any other stores they would be good for comparison shops“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, --will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others, --or to diminish something of their pains.”0 -

Debating on getting the 'illegal' stuff though; seeing as it's being sold on Amazon and eBay.
