It would be cheaper to just order from J&L and pay shipping. Looks like total with shipping to PG would be $78 for a bucket. The only way to change price gouging is to vote with your wallet. Don't buy salt from them and make it clear why you won't shop there. That price is outrageous. If their supplier is setting those prices then they are getting gouged by their supplier and should find another source.

Do retailers really take that much of a hit on salt sales?

Typically it's not a high margin product and if one were to try and make some money on it people would just go elsewhere which is the last thing a retailer wants.

Salt is considered a commodity, it is used to bring people in the door, like tanks. As we know of salt prices on boxing day by a certain retailer.

Not a large margin on them at all.
