agreed. I would simply add: be honest with the retailer. I was getting salt from amazon too, until they jacked up the price and shipping was added. when I mentioned the old price to the retailer, they completely understood why I chose amazon rather than local. then ordered me the salt, since they didn't carry that brand in store, and gave me a 10% discount.
