Deals on Sugar?

[Paul Zelenski]

Does anyone know of a cheap way to buy white granulated sugar in bulk? I have previously just purchased sugar from Costco, but this year I am going to need over a thousand pounds of sugar. I was hoping to find a cheaper source.
I remember the candy sugar that pops up on this listserv, but personally don't want to feed my bees candy; just pure sugar.

Any thoughts or tips would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Paul Z

Periodically Copps/PickNSave have dirt cheap deals on sugar (IF you go there, I am a regular there).

Every time some cheap sugar is advertised on this board, I see I can do better at simple Copps clearance.

I got stocked up last year really well and am already set for this season if I ever need any dry sugar for emergencies (hope not).

PS: I am talking about 100 pounds or so of sugar I got on hand; enough for me now but I could have had way more if wanted.

I recall that Michigan sugar company sells it cheap from their locations but you'd have to go to Michigan. You could try contacting them about pallet pricing. I suspect that even at 1000lbs it won't be very much savings once freight is included.

You could also look for Amish and/or LDS bulk food stores.  Another option is restaurant supply stores (Gordon comes to mind).  I've also hear Aldi often has very good prices on 4lb bags (<$0.50/lb), but you'd have to buy a LOT to get to 1000lbs.

Probably not much different than you are getting at Costco, but this is what I get at Sam's Club:

50 lbs for $23.99 -- See Photo attached

Thanks Greg, picked up 60lbs last night.  I didn't take it all, but they were pretty close to sold out by 6pm. 

[Greg V]

You are welcome!

Not that I needed more, but I too picked yet another 40lbs... Haha.

Sugar stores forever. Why not.

So, they don't have the additional 400# I need? ;)

Wait for the next deal and might as well grab a load while getting your milk, bread and coffee anyway.
(these 25 cent deals are pretty common if you watch weekly grocery ads).

But the real competitors maybe your local restaurant(s), not fellow beeks..   :-)

So what does it usually go for at Sam's or Costco? Never paid attention to bulk sugar prices before

[Paul Zelenski]

Costco is around $0.40 per pound
