Called my LFS and they still want $180 a bucket. I asked if the price will be coming down at all soon and he is paying $120, still a bit of a markup although still much higher then those of you on the east coast are paying.
I just don't see how/why he's paying so much for it. I have got to think there is a clerical error somewhere along the line.
He's not "Raping" it with his margin because he's running less than 35% margin. But I still think his "Purchase Price" must be out of line somewhere along the way. No way this or ANY salt is worth $180/225g. Not even close.
I just checked the online flyer for my LFS for the 225G Salinity- I could swear it said $75 the other day. Now it says $25 off. I may call before I go tomorrow - I'm not driving there just to find out it's 180 or 120.
Here a LFS on facebook that has it, if that helps any.
