    Hey grakk,

    The easy answer to that question is 10 # bags of Royal Oak at Walmart for $6.37. Some Walmarts call lump a seasonal item and may not have it. If you have more then one Walmart check them all as some may have it and some may not. If that doesn't work call Royal Oak at 678 461 3200 and ask customer service where you can buy it in your area. That's the easy answer, someone else may have a better one for you area.

    Good luck and keep warm,

    Gator

    Hello! Glad to see another downstater in our midst. I'm over here in Dunlap, just north of Peoria. I'd like to invite you to the 8th annual Peoria Eggfest to be held on Saturday, June 5th. No charge to attend. Email me if you want more info...and NO I'm NOT a BGE dealer!

    You can also check at restaurant supply stores and farmer's co-ops. I buy mine from a co-op that is a lot cheaper then even Wal-Mart.
  • Wow, cheaper than wal-mart. I didn't know that was allowed. :laugh:
