  In the city of Utrecht NL they have free sunblock stations spread around the city. It shows the temp and UV rating. But buying it in store is crazy expensive and often the quality is poor. Some fancy tiny spray bottles go up to 12 euros, only good for 3 to 4 uses. wtf.

    As a ginger- the petrol money to go shop in Germany at DM or Rossmann is cheaper than the ginger tax here.

    Then don’t buy the fancy spray bottles, but the big one that lasts for a year or three?

      I’m not buying the fancy expensive shit. But the cheap stuff fills pores and creates pimples. Also, don’t use the one from last year, it has an expiration date. The protection goes down significantly.

        Good point with the expiration date, but the one I have has >1 year, possibly longer since I cannot remember when I bought it

    Cost of living in the UK is up 25% since Brexit happened in 2021.

      The British are the Americans of Europe, so that makes sense.

    Here in the Netherlands it’s expensive as well. Like a small bottle of name-brand sunscreen is €30.

  I buy the store brand from the local supermarket. €2,99 for a 250 ml bottle and it works great. I never get sunburn, even during multi hour bike rides in the blazing sun.

  I have autistic sensory issues and the cheapest one I can at all tolerate to have on my skin is 15€ for 50ml. I have so many of the 5-10€ bottles at home and can’t handle any of them. Fml
