cheapest I've seen around my way is $4.50/lb but mostly everyone charges $5 though... Kinda makes me wanna save the $50 it cost each time I fill the bottle and just build a blower motor or something

Never knew I was getting a bargain

Everywhere that I've been in Southern IN charges between 3.25 and 3.75 a pound, gotta watch out for the guy that puts 7 pounds in your bottle and says it's 10 though, weigh them first before you take them in. The labels should say what the bottle weighs empty, if you take it in there with 3 pounds in it there's no way they can put 10 in it so always double check or ask to see the scale.
