Just had a letter from the company that I get my helium cylinders from, and due to a global shortage of helium, the costs to me, are massive increases from next month!
A 10-cubic-foot cylinder has gone from around £70, to £112.
A 20-cubic-foot cylinder has gone from around £97, to £122.
A 30-cubic-foot cylinder has gone from around £158, to £248.
This is clearly NOT good at all. Anyone else experiencing such huge price increases, due to the (alleged) helium shortage?
It seems the only way to save money, is for me to hire the 20-cubic-foot cylinders, and take them out more often, as two of them will cost me less than one 30-cubic-foot cylinder will, and I'd have 25% more gas to enjoy (40-cubic-foot total, versus 30-cubic-foot total)!
Sometimes having a balloon fetish, can be a very expensive hobby!
