Another salt brand thread... with a twist

[tuberider]

I get mine through a water store in HMB oddly enough, he charges me ~$80 for the pro.

I paid $64.99 + tax and picked up on will call (I used to live about 15min from MD)...so no shipping. Next time I drive down to visit family (or them come up here), I'll arrange to get another bucket or two

IMHO if you are going to order salt online vs. getting it from a LFS you want to go with DR Fosters and smith. they don't have that special handling charge. Think theirs sells for $84.99 but it is like $5 per bucket to ship (not exactly sure as i never order just one bucket but close)

When I go down for MAX II I'll probably try to arrange to pick up a couple of buckets also.

Just checked Dr Fosters.... Shipping is $11.99. So Dr. Fosters total w/ shipping is $96.98 and MD is $96.99 w/ shipping.

DF&S shipping is based upon cost of the item, however they recently jacked the prices up on salt to reflect that loophole many were exploiting.
