Most on here use the www.therockshed.com/ great prices and he has great customer service. If you want a large batch try Miles supply for even better prices must buy 25 lbs or more. George

I just got a 50 lb bucket from Milessupply yesterday. The 60-90 was 1.31 a lb. Add shipping,packaging fee, my final cost was 2.34 a lb. That will give you an idea. I have been buying from the Rock Shed and will continue with my other grits. I use more coarse by far than any other.

Wayne, you don't say where you are located. As George makes clear it is better to buy in quantity but shipping costs at least a leg. Check in your area for industrial, sand blasting, abrasives, etc. 60/90 SC is a commonly used product. A local source is quite often better when shipping is factored in.

You might compare prices with this company, i ordered my rock polisher from them because they were $25.00 to $50.00 cheaper than anyone else, they used to have large packs of grit, but now they only sell small and medium packs, WF~ www.erocktumbling.com/
