I guess it's the same over there, at some points you guys are way ahead from us. No example at the moment, but im sure i'll think of something in the future. But then again what would be the point of lowering the standard?
Reaching for the next level is the way to go, in small steps ofcourse.

What is also interesting is that the baking soda in my fridge weighs 1lb and costs $.79 while AR grade Sodium Bicarbonate sold by Fisher Scientific costs about $25 per pound.
Whoa... that is some expensive stuff. At my lfs that stuff is about $15 for 2 pounds. If i order from Germany it costs me about $6 for 2 pounds.

But then again all livestock and hardware is really expensive over here. For example i recently placed an order at petstore.com with 8 reflectors for my PC bulbs, including the shippingcost and customs it is still cheaper than at my lfs.
