  1. Time to Stock Up!

    You may have seen those extreme couponing shows where people have huge stockpiles of food and toilet paper. They strategize and plan to amass their collections for hours on end but I’m not one of those people.

    I do recognize deals when I see them and if you’re planning on grilling this weekend or even for the rest of the year then I suggest you head out to your local Lowes or Home Depot and pick up some Kingsford charcoal.  Both are featuring a sale on charcoal.

    Lowes

    Home Depot
    Total Weight 40 lbs. 27.8 lbs.
    Weight 2-20 lb. bags 2-13.9 lb. bags
    Price $9.99 $6.88
    Price per lb. $0.249 $0.247

     

    As you can see from the chart, you make out pretty much the same either way you go. It’s just a matter of how much charcoal you will need. I tend to go for the larger bags and plenty of them.

    The sale should last until Saturday but why wait, go get yours today because I know I will.

  2. Summer Stockpile

    May 22, 2012 by BBQ Jim

    charcoal stockpile

    I was walking into Walmart and there by the door was a display for charcoal at $5.49 for 30lbs. After a quick inventory check I realized I was running low. I had 120 lbs. left in storage (6 bags of 20lbs) from what I had purchased last year. Of course I loaded up a cart with 150 lbs. and off I went.

    Check your local Walmart for pricing and availability. I hear they don’t all have 15 lb. bags. Some have 13 lb. bags at either the same or a lower price.
