What do you think you spend per month on peptides?

A thread drawing twenty voices in the research community has turned a candid question about monthly peptide expenditure into a window onto the wide variance in how researchers at different stages of experience approach procurement frequency, budget discipline, and risk tolerance.

I hope this isn't a violation of some sort of etiquette and I apologize if it is but I'm wondering what members estimate they spend per month on peptides. For me, that's one of the sticking points in trying combos is the cost to try.

I guess the response will be all over.. Some people are just finding out about the GRAY market and injecting as often as they can at there DNA and seeing what superpowers will show up some people have stocked up for the zombie apocalypse and are just rotating aging stock.
