    Beware though, if you want to use them on yourself, that the cheapest isn't necessarily the best. The cheapy ones are often inferior grades/pressings etc. However, if you just want to bung them in your washing machine or use as an air freshener, they will be OK.

    Wasn't it Curry_Queen who said that stocking tea tree OIL was the test of a good supplier? That tea tree ESSENCE is cheap and nasty in comparison, so shops that stock the oilt are more likely to have a better range of better quality items?

    On the high stret, teh Body Shop is the cheapest palce I can find but not the most comprehensive selection, Holland & Barrett are about the next best with a wide rage but a little more expensive. And yes, they both stick tea tree OIL. Avoid Boots, most of theirs are essence or pre-blended & expensive.

    If you have a local health food shop, they may be worth a try. My Mum was pricing around for me last Christmas, and was shocked to find they were cheaper there than Holland and Barrett, and for very good quality, well known oils.
