Great Prices On Salt
 
So went to Totalpet today for a bucket of salt. $114.98+tax. Manager tells me that price went up a little bit. I tell him the average price is $40 and he says that it can't be possible and everyone else is losing money selling it at that price. What is everyone else paying? This is for Instant Ocean.

i am thinking you should make a trip to edmonton.

Ya regular price is around $40. I got 10 buckets on boxing day for $30 each. $115 for IO is insane...

I phoned Toatlpet head office in Kelowna and they tell me that the supplier sets the prices. It's too bad that they are the only LFS in this town that "tries" to deal in SW. Last month they had a small yellow tang on sale for $90.

you can still order from j&l and have 2 pails for that.

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.
