Gosh, Dot, that works out to $2.45 per 50#.
That's somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 per ton less than we pay for it
bagged! That would durn near pay me to drive to Nampa from up here clear
across the state for a ton of it! (I'll have to keep that in mind the next
time I'm headed that direction...)
We live about 10 miles from Amalgamated Sugar in
Nampa, Id. Didn't buy any this year, had leftovers, but last year
it was around $98 a ton, year before a little less. Have to get it
in bulk, dumped in pickup from oversize bucket loader.(They are very careful
with the little trucks) Last I heard it was still $8 for 50# at the
store.
If you are anywhere near a plant it's worth it to
sack it from the pickup at home. We store it in plastic garbage
cans. Lasts a long time, unless it gets
wet.
