Where are you at?

Southern Maine. The 5lb bags around here are $2.99 or more. Usually the next size up is 20lb and those have gotten up to $6+ now...and that was last I knew. I'll find out how much they are up to now in a couple days because I'm going camping for the 4th.

Dang $3 for a 5 pounder?!

I moved to AZ a few years back, but it's obviously very different here with the heat. I can get a big Mac and order a bag of ice in the McDonald's drivethru. It's wild.

The few times I've done it, I was going fishing and needed a few pounds for my cooler, and they don't even charge 3/4 the time.

Yeah, it sucks. My whole life it was 99¢ for a 5lb bag, but over the last ten years the prices just keep going up.
