cheapest place to buy salt?

Were the cheapest place to get Instant Ocean salt ... or other good brands. I figured someone could suggest a site that has some discounted or cheap shipping or something.

Thanks,
Tony

I have got the IO reef crystals off ebay a few times. If you get the bucket it is not a bad deal

pertsmart.. go online and print out the online price... thats around $35 ... then google for a cupon... there's one right now for $5... so for around $30 you get a 180 bucket... you just missed out on the other deal.. it ended on xmass eve... a $10 cupon... i got a bucket for $28 and change... but just google a cupon once in a while.. when there $10.. print it out with the online petsmart salt bucket price and go the the store.. get the bucket and wait in line.. show them the online price and ask for a price match.. they will match it.. it's there own franchise's posted price..

this is what i have been doing for the last 6 months ...

same here, but using reef crystal,
foster&Smith seems the best price to carry this brand, don't know other salts.

I find out the cheapest place online and go to my LFS. I ask him if he wants to beat that price and sell it to me. He always matches the price.

I use the $29.59 buckets of IO from Drs. Foster & Smith. Most places charge extra for oversize shipping, they don't.
