View Full Version : Where are you getting salt?

I've been looking around locally for inexpensive IO or Kent salt. Seems like those 90g IO pails are available at outrageous prices :eek: :evil:

Where are folks getting their salt and how much are you paying for it?

If I can't find someplace locally, I'm thinking of doing a mega order, like 10 pails, from J&L and would be looking for others to order some too. Both Kent and IO from J&L are $49.99 plus shipping.

Have ordered 20 pails from them a few years back and they ship on a pallet using some trucking company with a base in Edmonton. Would need someone with a truck or van to pick it up, though, since we no longer have our van.

Anyone??

I dont think you'll find a better price than that, if you could put together a group order though I bet you could work something out. J&L prices are hard to beat. My favorite store doesn't do mail order but I doubt they'd be any cheaper than that price. Kent is now owned by Oceanic, the salt may be different in the near future. I think it's still made by IO at this point though.

I have seen the Oceanic jugs showing up at 35.00 for the 90gallon mix.Don't know if that is a deal,but it is better than what I pay for the 55Gal mix of IO.(Price per gallon wise)

Tony,

$35 for 90g is NOT a deal :evil: Want in on some 200g pails of Kent or IO from J&L? How many do you want? We're looking at 9-10 pails for ourselves.

boB,

Why don't you get a Calgary mega order going? I'm sure J&L will ship to Calgary just like they ship to Edmonton...... unless you like coming up to visit with us :smile:
