    8 dollars? That’s crazy. Especially because the plant itself isn’t that hard to keep and produces an amount of leafs you will never be able to use all.

      Exactly!

      It’s absolutely insane, I remember needing it in a pinch to make some soups, and had to buy one for 8+ dollars at my local store, and it was like 4 leaves… I went to the plant nursery the next weekend and bought a small bay laurel for 20 bucks, and never looked back. Zero maintenance, it seems to be pretty pest tolerant, and I just put it in my backyard in a pot close enough to catch some residual water from my sprinkler, and it has been thriving ever since.
