Cheaper (Gear) Alchemy

This question is for those who have access to GURPS Power-Ups 2: Perks (p. 8) or another GURPS book with the Perk Cheaper (Gear).

Cheaper (Gear) has a different discount level depending on scope. It ranges from broad category (i.e. guns) to specific class (i.e. Russian sniper rifles).

What discount level would you give to Cheaper (alchemical ingredients)?

20%. It's still a pretty large category considering it covers all the possible potions you can make.

Yeah, I'd go with that. "All alchemical materials and gear" would be the -10% level, allowing both ingredients and replacing lost/broken lab equipment, while something like "ingredients for potions of health and curing" would be the -30% level, and "ingredients for potions of Healing" would be the -40% level.
