I am not the seller. This is not meant as spam but as a heads up for anyone looking for a deal in the Detroit area. Mods feel free to delete if you feel this is inappropriate.

Not really a great deal for this area. ACO Hardware routinely has sales for 6.99 and 7.99 a bag. Their current sale is for 7.99 a bag with no limit- Thanks for looking out though. I would snatch this up if Aco Hardware locally did not always have a Milo sale running.

I saw that too. I am about an hr south of Motown and would have to factor in gas + a pickup so it is not worth it. If they would bring it to my house now that would be a deal! :)

Seven sixty a bag? I'd go for that if I were in Michigan in a hot second... But I'm used to Pennsylvania prices of almost twice that.

Didn't realize that that's the normal price for the area. I, too, am used to the $12-15 price. Luckily, we have the Baystate option.

Not a bad price. Too bad gas is so damn costly. Good thing for me that my some what local (Zeeland) seed store had it on sale last week for $6.88 a bag. Grabbed a cool 10 bags on the cheap...

Just found out that a good friend's family business is an authorized distributor for TruValue hardware. I jumped in on their weekly order and have 8 bags of Milo coming later this week at $7.50 a pop. This should be possible as an ongoign thing too. :yahoo:

If we could buy I big load and run a truck east and south and drop off loads (distribute) to the eastern half, or drop off points and head south to southern states. My brother works for a Trucking Co. in Jersey.

Just returned from a trip to the states myself. Grabbed a few bags for $7.99. Great deal, considering they cost $15 in the city I live in. Also picked up some tenacity since I was over there.. heh.

The price difference in US and Canada is astonishing at times.
