Only pretentious assholes with too much money to spend shopped there
anyway, although I did buy a pound of wheat bran there when everybody
else was out of it.

Todd Flanders' hobbies include being quiet on long rides,
clapping to songs and diabetes.

It's pretty much a store for hippies with a lot of money.

I have a 250W one of those under my desk - warms my feet just about enough.

I also have a cheap version of one of these:
 
https://hurst-iw.co.uk/products/warmlite-halogen-heater-1200w-3-bar
 
Mine's a 3 x 400W version, paid about $20 from Aldi. Basically, what it
lights it heats - very effectively, even with just one 400W 'bulb'. But
it does give out a bright light, and isn't an effective space heater.
 
In context - I'm lucky enough to have a well insulated large Victorian
house with a 90% efficient 30kW gas boiler feeding water filled
radiators - costs maybe $3/day to keep the house to about 18C. So I only
tend to use the electric heaters when I'm staying in one room, typically
watching TV in the evening (for that, a traditional 1 or 2kW 'bar'
heater - it'll keep the room to 20C easily, even at 1kW).
 
Electricity is quite expensive in the UK - about 20c per kW/hr. Gas is
one quarter of the price.
