margins on salts are next to nil. The price is kept to a minimum to no profit to keep people comng back in. In some cases vendors are able to buy in quantity so there for they get a better deal and can advertise the salt much cheaper than others like say petland who do not buy great quantities. They do not specialize in the SW so unlike stores that do they do not get the same deals unless there are trade show deals. Any retailer you see selling salt for what you are used to now is making pennies. Remember that when you ask if they can give you a deal on it or other things they have...they dont make great margins off 50-60 percent of their store unless they have bulk buying power.
think of it this way...if you went to superstore and asked for a deal when you brought groceries up...do you think they would give you one?
