Hey if I can save $4 to $6 by getting something I always use ahead of time, I'll happily do it!

59 cents here and smokes were 50 cents a pack.
I still get farm fresh eggs for $1.00 a dozen. Nice big brown eggs from golden buff chickens. My 90 yo dad and 83 yo mom raise them. They told me I should start raising my own. I said I have reef tanks with no automation so I don't have the time. I wanted to say at a dollar dozen from you why would I bother but I refrained.
I was surprised as well as disappointed. My salt buckets do double duty and are used to catch maple sap in the spring when I tap our trees. I don't see the plastic holding up very well.
Just bought 12 buckets on amazon. Didn’t realize until today that the price per gallon is actually cheaper buying the 160g (.2375 cents/g) vs 200g (.3039 cents/g). Hmmmm. Thx

Another thing you might find interesting is that buying the 50 gallon bags only costs slightly more than the 160 bucket per gallon ($0.247 for the bags vs $0.237 for the bucket). I used to buy the box because I like the 50 gallon bags, but I switched to buying individual bags once I realized they were much cheaper.
Pretty crazy that there is a surcharge for buying bulk? It pays to always check things out as what happened a while ago they put the 200g’s on sale making them less expensive then rest but of course when they came off sale, I didn’t recalculate. I also dont understand how they can absorb the price of the plastic incorporated in the bucket and offer that option for less then a box? Crazy pricing strategy.
I currently have enough buckets so will have to figure out how to responsibly dispose of the buckets as I use them. I’ll try to just give them away to those who need them as they are about $5 or so in Home Depot $ Walmart and need to pay extra for lid I believe.
Everyday shopping, smaller pack of cookies is cheaper per ounce to the large "value" pack.
I've only bought 1 box of salt, the rest have been buckets as the price per pound is cheaper.
BUlk pricing should always be less but such is life I suppose….

100% sure
Every GT500 / GT350 before the newest GT500s were manuals.
Now all GT500s are automatic...
you got duped into buying a bunch of salt. thats what. not really, just kidding. i have just as many buckets sitting around, but thats because i have bought them many, many months ago, for instances where i know i can get it less than 40 bucks. i know that price will eventually go up, so ive always stocked up ahead time.

While the increase is effective 1-15, the new price lists are worked out with wholesaler/suppliers, then given to the merchants. With My LFS, it was a month before shelves reflected new price.

This is a beautiful sight
its a mess! use to be 1 bucket only, lol
Not only did prices not reflect an increase on 1/15, Petsmart has them for 20% off! Damm I could have saved allot of money if would have waited!
that price has being same for over a month now! what did you pay for them?
...actually this post got me thinking, can we set up a new thread (or keep this one alive) and all of us would be updating it whenever we find deals on salt online!? salt is something we all use!
