I dont shop at that store anymore, I get my salt for $50/pail now. Just be fortunate you have stores to choose from in your town. It's pretty much a known fact that most LFS stores sell salt at cost or below cost to get the consumer in there. Try not too tick off some of your LFS that are possibly reading this thread right now, it may backfire on you when you do ask for a better deal at other times of the year. Most of them are willing to knock off a few bucks if asked. Wendall has for me and i'm 500 miles away.
