Rock salt provides an inexpensive and effective way to melt away dangerous ice that can cause accidents in the winter. It is always in demand as such there are many places for you to purchase rock salt. We will look at where to buy rock salt in this article and the disadvantages of the methods recommended.
Before we start to look at where to buy rock salt we have some advice for you. There are rock salt shortages in certain areas of the United States so it really isn’t a good idea to wait until winter rolls around to buy your rock salt.
Also we would strongly advise that you consider purchasing rock salt in bulk. If you just buy 2 or 3 bags then these can very quickly run out in severe winters. Trying to find more rock salt mid winter can really be a challenge and it is certainly inconvenient to have to go out in the cold looking for it.
All sorts of local stores can sell rock salt. You can find it at convenience stores, hardware stores, car accessory stores and others. If you buy your rock salt from a local store then there are a few disadvantages.
The main disadvantage is cost. Local stores always charge more for products than the larger stores or online wholesalers do. You are paying for the convenience of the store being close to you and this is OK if you only need a small number of bags of rock salt.
The other disadvantage is that the local store owner is unlikely to be an expert on rock salt and ice melting. You may have questions which they just cannot answer. As a result you may end up with rock salt that will not do the job that you want it to do.
A lot of large stores such as Walmart and Lowes will sell rock salt as well as other ice melting products. You will usually be able to buy a lot more bags at these larger stores and there is likely to be a delivery option as well so that you don’t need to cause yourself an injury loading and unloading several bags of rock salt into and out of your car.
The price of rock salt at the big stores is almost certainly going to be lower than that of your local store. They will carry a larger stock as well so if you go early then you should be able to get what you want.
If you have questions about rock salt and ice melting then you will have more chance of finding someone who can at least partly answer at the larger stores. This will not always be the case though. These large stores carry thousands of products so expertise in one of them is not very likely.
There are a number of online suppliers that can provide you with the rock salt that you need. The easiest way to find them is to use your favorite search engine and type “where to buy rock salt” or “online rock salt suppliers”.
Although online suppliers of rock salt can usually sell you a small number of bags, you will save the most money by buying in bulk. Another great thing about online rock salt suppliers is that they are experts. They know just about everything that there is to know about rock salt and ice melting.
Most online rock salt suppliers will deliver to your door. Some will charge extra for this so check the website for details or call them up before you place an order. These online suppliers will cover certain areas so you want to check whether they can supply to your location as well.
