This is not a constant price however this week the local super markets have
10 kg (22 lbs.) for $5.99 CDN.  This works out to $0.27/lb. CDN
(approximately $0.19 US).  Of course you are only limited to one bag at this
price but I get my wife to buy a bag, my parents, etc., or I stop at a
number of stores on the way home until I have enough.
 
Unless you live in northern Minnesota or North Dakota however a drive up to
Winnipeg may not be worth the trip.

Hi Conrad and all
 
The cheapest I have found here (in St. Catharines near Niagara Falls,
Ontario) is about $1.50 per 2 kg bag, which works out to $0.34 per Pound.
Even at Price Club, it is only marginally less unfortunately. Maybe someone
else has found a better price??
