Maybe I'm off-side here, but I thought what EmilyB was trying to say was that it seemed like a LOT of work for someone (person or personS) to organize a purchase of a pallet of salt buckets for a minimal savings. So the flipside is, is it not worth the $20 for the convenience of dealing with a LOCAL store.

That said, she IS participating in the order, so I think it's fair that she make any comment she wishes.

Having organized a pallet of bags of sand in the past, I speak from personal experience that organizing, and fielding these endeavours is a huge PITA. Yes, in the end there's a savings-per-bag (or bucket, or whatever). But I know I'm not rushing out to organize another one so soon. I ended up with 60 bags of sand taking up the entire floorspace of my garden shed, and it took six months for them all to sell out.
