The golden rule is to buy before you regret not having it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway, I&#8217;ve gotten pretty far off track, but this definitely ranks among my best purchases (*&#8217;\u03c9&#8217;*) <br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overseas shopping\u2014tools edition.
