best place to buy salt?

[Craig]

Just went to Petco to pick up some salt and IO was $64 for a bucket. This is ridiculous. Can anyone reccomend a good place to pickup some salt for a decent price?

If there is a petsmart around you, they honor their internet prices. I pay 32 for 160g of IO.

You just have to print out their website price and bring that to the store

No stores in Manhattan.
The closest one is in NJ:

I order mine from drs foster & smith. They don't charge additional shipping.

Craig: There's a PetSmart in Stamford. That's where I get mine.

 

[Craig]

Excellent suggestions all. I'm going to give Petsmart a try. If they wont do the price matching i'll order from foster and smith.

Craig,

Just a heads up. You need to call ahead and find out what salt that Petsmart has in stock and what size containers they have. You have to bring in the ad for what they have in stock. Sometimes they only have the 5lb bags of oceanic and other times they have 5 gallon buckets.

Operative word here is additional shipping. Doing the Petsmart deal, there's not shipping at all. :tongue1:

BTW, last December, the Drs offered FREE shipping on orders over $60 (salt included). I ordered five 200 gallon buckets of Oceanic. Still haven't gone through all of it (into my last bucket now). I'm hoping to catch that sale again, before I run out.

went to petsmart in norwalk and all they had were tiny bags of salt.

hey russ...Reefcrystals are on sale for $35 a bucket at F&S.com. I'm thinking about ordering 2 of them. Wanna jump in on an order and split the shipping?

 

[masterswimmer]

Craig, I would, but I use Oceanic. Petsmart near me has the 200g buckets. No shipping for me at all.

Good offer and possible GB for those looking for salt.

Thanks for the invite.

i get my salt from lou or order it from bigalsonline.com, they have all the name brands. I think i paid less than 50 for the 200gallon with shipping.

thatfishplace.com has em for about 31 bucks a bucket on IO and i believe delivery is $5.00

 

[Craig]

I recently ordered salt for myself and another reefer from foster smith. IO was on sale for $29.50 a bucket. I also found a $5 off coupon online. I ordered enough to really piss off the fedex driver.

:lol2:

 

[jhale]

craig I live in a 4 flight walk up, even one salt bucket will piss off the fedex man.
I also order from the dr.'s

 

[bad coffee]

I ordered 4 buckets of RC from dr fosters. It was 10.99 shipping for however many you order. SO for $2.75 or so per bucket I don't have to haul it.

You're just downright mean :sgrin:

I did a salt GB a couple of years ago. It was only 19 buckets The Fedex guy was dripping sweat (July :lol2: ) after the 3rd bucket.
