Its $40 a bag at my local co-op but if I travel down the road 20 minutes, its $30 I now gladly spend a few more minutes in the truck traveling to get it $10 cheaper!!!
How much fuel do you use/Cost in driving that additional 40 minute round trip??? My dodge dually gets approx 17MPG so it would take me about 2-3 gallons of fuel to drive that distance. Which here in Calif, Diesel is $3.50 a gallon at its cheapest so it would cost about 7-8.00 of fuel to drive and save 10.00. For 2.00 difference, I would support the local co op. Now if you could make it to where your already passing through and you can get 2 birds with one stone, makes sense. My neighbor drives 25 miles ONE WAY to fill up his car with gas because its 18 cents cheaper.
In that case, yes. I would also support my local co-op but I use our gas saver which gets about 31 MPG and then I pick up 2-3 bags at a time. Store it properly so I make about 1 trip every 3-ish months!
Makes sense! I also have a nissan Versa Car that gets like 40 MPG... lol | |

First, yes the Senior has shipped. Independent regional Distributors have it in stock now, but you may need to ask your independent feed store to get it in. The stores have been told that the Senior is available, but that does not mean that they remember or care.
TSC had their biggest week of Renew Gold sales last week. So, my guess is that your store was out. They are slow to increase what they hold in stock in the stores, but they are getting better, and we are really pushing them to stay stocked. I get an in stock report, and last week 93.5% of the TSC stores had RG in inventory. They will continue to get better, but if you have a store that needs a little push to keep up just give me a call or PM and I will get involved to see that they are supplied. The Senior will not be in TSC until the new floor plan goes into effect in August. They change twice per year, February and August, and we were not ready early enough to make the February changes.

Location: 31 lengths farms | Thank you...I did ask the local feed store to get me a bag of the senior. And I figured as much on the TSC in our town, they typically only carry 3-4 bags of the RG and if you aren't there the day they get it in then they dont' have it. Local feed store is about 3 dollars more so try to get it at TSC if possible. | |
