A 55 gallon drum is $43.80. It takes 5 drums to equate to a pallet. 5x$43.80=$219. So you save about $60 by buying drums , but then you have to bucket it out of there into something else and handle those heavy ass drums. Just food for thought.


$280/ton is $7/50lb bag. That's not a great price.

I can get it for $5.95/50lb bag even if I buy one bag.

I didn't say it was a great price, just letting people know what I came across. The co-op is the cheapest place I've found around here.
