$35 for a pound of salt? Once again, I'm in the wrong business.

Better deal here, then. 6ish pounds (I did the density x volume calculation ) for $32 (with outrageous S&H included).

Why not just visit the nearest feed store and get a salt block? (They are normally kept in the pasture for cows to lick. Eeew?)

I'm sure the price is right, and you can put it in the trunk of your car and save on shipping costs.

We bought one. They're fun, but not worth the price.
