> How does the price compare to California Randy?


Bob, I can't justify the time and expense of driving down out of the
foothills to purchase sucrose syrup, or even to drive to the discount
store.  Mann Lake also sells totes of dry sugar cheap, but again, too far to
make it worthwhile to haul.

So I just order 1000 lbs worth of 25# sacks at a time from my local grocery
two days in advance, and pick them up on the way back from outyards.  I got
1000 lbs today for about $495 = 49.5 cents a lb.

The bakery nearby can order 50 lb sacks for about the same, but the 25 lb
sacks are really easy to handle.  With a bit of practice, it is easy to tear
the top off in one jerk.

Randy
