$46 after tax if you buy 4 of them. I don't know about single since I buy many at a time.

I think that last year (or maybe the year before) was like $32. Maybe $46 is as good as it gets anymore.

How many do you buy at a time? just curious.

That depends how cheap it is. Back 8-10 years ago, I got a whole pallet at a LFS since it was like $22 a box... so 48 boxes then. They don't go bad, so I just let them sit around. Friend of mine did the same thing and his Honda SUV almost broke taking all of them home.

I ended up switching to aqua forest salt since IO is soooo expensive now.

I wish I had that much salt for a good price. I love changing water. It’s such a shame that salt prices have gone so high. They are a necessity.

Reminds me of the time in 1988 when I assumed it was Ok to fill up the trunk of a Nissan Sentra with landscaping rocks from a friends house and drive it time. Thing was fishtailing all over the road.

352 gallons for the cost of one good ICP test without any supplements or salt on the other side of the test. ...still cheap if you ask me.

They don't go bad but something does happen to them over time.
I used to buy in bulk as well. I got to the bottom few boxes and the mix ratio was way off. Some bags were very hard like bricks almost. I thing the bags are porous to a very small degree and moisture somehow leached in.

I have had one or two get hard in that larger order. I use the whole bag at a time, so I don't care. Most of the time the are fine. The new plastic in the newer batches is much more strong than the older stuff - I have to cut them now instead of just jamming my finger into them and pulling. I have not had any get hard in years and years. I think that my last order must have been 2 years ago now that I think about it.

Dude had to take his Honda, or whatever, to the dealer and have them reset the suspension warning systems. 1988... oh what a simpler time... you could mess your stuff up and it would just go back without any issues.

The 200 gallon box is buy 3 and get the 4th free at Chewy. Works out to $42.67 per box.

 

[Big E]

If you haven't used/abused the Petsmart 35% off to sign up for autoship it's the best deal I knnow of.
This is for 160g buckets

You could also have a friend or relative do you a favor if you have already done it on your own account.

I usually make a deal with a LFS to buy 10-12 at a time, (instead of online). They have always been happy to make a deal for a quick sale, and often get a better deal for themselves when they buy quantity.

Chewy is now by 2 and get 1 free on IO. $37.93 a box.

Just used it. Thanks. They had also sent me a $20 off code that worked.

 

[areefer01]

Reasonable deal for AWC to be honest. Especially if one buys in bulk like a few of you do. Thanks for the heads up.
