I have those too. The frames don't fit in them like I have them sitting in the Husky totes. The Costco ones are not wide enough.

Ah! I'll keep that in mind. Next time we go to Menards (almost never go to Home Depot), I'll see if they have some wide enough for frames.

The local Ridley's does case lot sales. A 25 lb. bag of sugar qualifies as a case lot. I buy it when it goes on sale. I believe that the last bag I bought was $11.00. I do have more than one spare bag.

Are those mite washes or board count?

Board count, after OAV. That's why I'm thinking I don't need to worry about it until we test? I'm glad that we've killed so many.
